  1. Catalyst: • Try to read the colors of the ink instead of the words themselves.

  2. Agenda: • Malleable Intelligence • MI Practice • Course Goals • Portfolios

  3. Malleable Intelligence

  4. Myth or Fact? • You are born with a certain amount of intelligence, and cannot change how smart you are.

  5. MYTH • You may not know it, but YOUR BRAIN GROWS WITH PRACTICE, just like a muscle.

  6. Myth or Fact? • Humans use less than 10% of their brains.

  7. MYTH • "We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources” -Albert Einstein

  8. Myth or Fact? • Your brain is fully developed.

  9. MYTH • You’re brain grows the most during infancy, but undergoes significant growth and restructuring during adolescent years. Read: your brain is changing a lot right now.

  10. Neurons • What are specialized brain cells called?

  11. We are born with ~100,000,000,000 neurons That means there are more cells in your brain than there are people on this planet!!!

  12. The interconnected brain • How does the brain process information?

  13. Neural Networks • The first time two neurons “talk”, they have a slow connection • Repeated “talking” makes connections stronger and grows more connections

  14. Using the same neurons together over and over makes the connection faster, and increases brain size!

  15. Making new Connections • Learning: create new relationships between neurons • Remembering: strengthen the connections between neurons

  16. “Amateurs practice until they get it right. Experts practice until they cannot get it wrong.”

  17. What does this look like?

  18. Summary “People are, to a large extent, in charge of their own intelligence. Being smart - and staying smart - is not just a gift, not just a product of their genetic good fortune. It is very much a product of what they put into it.” -Carol S. Dweck

  19. So… what? • How is this connected to this course?

  20. Goals • Before you can really get going, you need to set a high (but achievable) goal for this year: • Grade-Wise • Learning-Wise

  21. Goals What does this mean and why is this important? • Before you can really get going, you need to set a high (but achievable) goal for this year: • Grade-Wise • Learning-Wise

  22. Goals • Take 5-6 minutes to write two (specific) goals for yourself: *1 grade/percentage goal*1 for what you ultimately hope to learn as a result of taking Forensic Science (This will be filed in a portfolio you will take at the end of the school year)

  23. Portfolios & Reminders • Label your graded work folder with your first & last name. • Personalize your portfolio (see example!) • Dossier due Monday • Syllabus/Contract signed due Monday
