Growth Mindset Math by Jo Boaler Video 1: Jo Boaler discusses the brain and its ability to learn new information and how mistakes are a

huge part of that process. Her claim, through scientific research and data, is that the brain's synapses

grow when mistakes are made as opposed to the lack of growth that is made when a correct answer is

given. Based on this information, does this change the way that you might approach new tasks including

school? Explain your reasoning in a few sentences.

Yes. It will definitely affect the way I approach new tasks. Based on this information, my approach to new tasks will definitely change. I will approach such tasks not with the fear of making mistakes but rather doing it to the best of my ability knowing that I will be corrected when I make a mistake. Also, it makes me attempt new topics in school and stand up to answer questions in class with the knowledge of being corrected when I'm wrong.

I strongly believe that such will enable me to learn and get better both in class and in life.

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.

cockroaches and rats often are a symbol for things that are disgusting or vile. though i don't know which play you are talking about, i hope this !
