Leila and Ravi are preparing short talks for a school assembly. Their teacher tells both pupils that their first drafts need clearer explanations. Leila asks to swap to the shortest section of the talk and hands in her first draft unchanged. Ravi uses the teacher's comments to rewrite the unclear parts, practises them and volunteers to answer an extra question from the audience.
Using Dweck's mindset theory, outline how Leila's and Ravi's responses show different beliefs about ability.
