Overview

Pick one of the two following story lines (i.e., either the animated video or the comic) and interpret it using both attribution theory and mindset theory:

Animated Video: Soar

Comic: Pearls Before Swine

Details

Whichever option you choose, you will need to speculate given the evidence available to you and explain your reasoning (i.e., “I think xx character would have had a fixed mindset and an internal attribution because…, then when they were faced with xxx it looks like it changed. Something that might have contributed to this change is…”). The purpose of this activity is to get you thinking about what these concepts might look like, not whether you can explain the meaning of the video or the joke in the comic.
