Assignment - Infographics - 102

Objective

Create a comparison infographic in Canva that places fixed mindset and growth mindset side by side, showing how each one shapes a student’s thinking, behavior, and results.

Instructions

Structure

Divide your infographic into two columns: Fixed Mindset on the left, Growth Mindset on the right. Use a central divider with a shared row of categories running down the middle.

Compare the two across these categories:

• Core Belief: “Intelligence is fixed - you either have it or you don’t” vs. “Ability develops through effort and practice.”
• Response to Failure: “I give up - this proves I’m not smart” vs. “I need a different approach - this is how I learn.”
• Response to Challenge: “I avoid it - I don’t want to look stupid” vs. “I take it on - hard things help me grow.”
• Feedback: “I ignore or resent criticism” vs. “I use feedback to improve.”
• Effort: “If I have to try hard, I must not be talented” vs. “Effort is what builds skill.”
• Classroom Language: “I can’t do this” vs. “I can’t do this yet.”
• Long-Term Outcome: “Plateau and stagnation” vs. “Continued improvement.”

Design in Canva

• Use two contrasting colors: a muted or cool color for fixed mindset, a warm or bright color for growth mindset.
• Add a small icon or illustration for each row (a wall for fixed, a plant growing for growth).
• Keep each cell brief - one sentence or a short phrase.
• Use a bold dividing line or central column for the category labels.

Required Elements

• At least 6 comparison categories.
• Fixed and growth mindset columns clearly labeled.
• Visual contrast between the two sides.
• Title: “Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset.”
