    MATERIALS: 
    Giraffes Can’t Dance​ by Giles Andreae 
    Image of brain (one side black and white, one side colorful) 
    Youtube: Don’t Give Up - Sesame Street with Bruno Mars 
     
    PROCEDURE: 
    Counselor will begin the lesson with a deep breathing exercise, followed by 
    reading​ Giraffes Can’t Dance​ by Giles Andreae. Throughout the book, bring 
    student’s attention to what Gerald is feeling and facilitate discussion on real 
    life scenarios where the students/the counselor had similar feelings.  
    I.e. Have they ever felt like they weren’t good at something? When and 
    how did that feel?  
    Have they ever felt like giving up? When and how did that feel? 
     
    Start talking with the students about Gerald and how if he had given up before 
    he tried, he never would have discovered that he was an amazing dancer. 
    Relate this idea back to academics and social situations.  
     
    Use metaphors to help students understand the concept of growth mindset. If 
    you had a rock, could you mold it and shape it into something new? No. What 
    about PlayDough? Can you mold, shape, stretch, and create with PlayDough? 
    Yes! PlayDough is to growth mindset as rock is to fixed mindset. You can also 
    use the picture of the brain to show a visual of growth vs. fixed mindset. 
     
    Introduce students to the language of growth mindset.  
    Language of “yet”: “I can’t do it” → “I can’t do it YET”  
    “I give up” → “My brain grows when I do challenging work” 
    “I can’t do anything right!” → “Making mistakes is how my brain gets 
    bigger” 
     
    Lastly, end lesson with Youtube video and song by Sesame Street (with Bruno 
    Mars) or any music/movement that reinforces growth mindset principles.

    will reinforce ideas and concepts in everyday interactions with students.
