Mindset Outline

Mindset- the way people look at things whether it's positive or negative. 

Thesis:
            How people have different outlooks on tough situations.

2 types of mindset:

  1.) fixed mindset- believing that you can't do something, having very low self-esteem. (negative thinking) #failure #allmyfault #i will never get a good grade

   2.) growth mindset- looking over things you did and learning from them so you can do better the next time. (positive thinking) #I'll get 'em next time # omw 2thetop #ain't no stopping me

Mindset has a lot to do with Multimodal the way we see things. (#visual #gestural) Some people mindset comes from what they hear, read. (#linguistic #aural)

Multimodal, what exactly does that mean?

•Multimodal is basically different modes or ways that one uses to communicate or get a certain point across, and those modes include, linguistic, spatial, or textual and so on

Ex: Lolcats
- By delicately using incorrect grammar, one still understands that they are attempting to be humorous.

Modes
•Sports announcers
•Weatherman 
•One's boss
•Yearbook

Linguistic Mode
-Targets verbal use, as well as written text
•Using a distinct play on words, exclamations marks, etc
Ex: When one is texting friends, one might be using incorrect grammar, or sometimes, may communicate strongly by use of emoji.

Visual Mode
- It could be the use of pictures in a specific order that changes the way that the viewers comprehends something
•perspective 
Ex: A politician is attempting to get a better reputation in the eyes of the public, so they use pictures of them holding puppies, and maybe kissing a baby, to show that they are compassionate and caring.

Aural Mode
-Using sound as means of communication
•Music
•Change in mood by certain sound affects 
•Change in pace
Ex: In Star Wars, they use a distinct song, at the begging of every movie, and have done this since the very first movie, so that the viewer understand the film is about to start.

Spatial Mode
-How something is set up in order for the viewer to deliberately see and comprehend in a specific way 
Ex: Two people walk down the hallway holding hands and may even be showing P.D.A which makes one assume that they are together, even if they have not verbally said they are.

-Gestural Mode
•Body language 
•Hand gestures 
•Eye contact
Ex: Hitler had the tendency to use hand gestures during his speeches, although have the time he was using the German people's fear, and anger, and was one of the worst people in history, he got his point across, and seemed more than confident, due to this body language throughout his speeches.

Multimodal Project Homework (Tatiana Briscoe)

                                                                                                  Multimodal Project
  1. Multimodal Text: is anything written that gives an illustration. Ex: writing, texting, social media, drawing, video games, and creating things.
  2. Linguistic Mode: is verbal. Ex: talking
  3. Visual Mode: something we see that catches our attention. Ex: billboards, television, words written in bold or CAPITAL LETTERS
  4. Aural Mode: sound Ex: music, instrumental, whispering, accents, and silence.
  5. Spatial Mode: the way things are arranged, organization. Ex: decorating, fungsway, distance between things.
  6. Gestural Mode: body language. Ex: posture, and facial expressions.
Reading the multimodal projects I learned that it's something we use and see everyday rather we actually know it or not we're reading, texting, watching t.v, creating banners, decorating for a party or on social media. Me writing this blog is a form of linguistic mode and Paulette's entry itself is linguistic and visual due to the highlighting and bold letters. #everydaylife
