As you listen—don’t forget the captions feature on YouTube—answer questions 1, 2, and 5 on page 20. Directions for accessing the online book were sent out earlier; let me know if you need a refresher.
The central idea is that luck has a great deal to do with success, and that lucky people need to help those who aren’t.
Task 2
Malcolm Gladwell is another bestselling author. He takes existing data and puts a unique spin on it. Next, watch a video called “Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell.”
This is a nice, quick summary of the book Outliers. Gladwell also talks about how luck is important to success.Think, for example, how the luck of your birth country can influence your level of math ability.Hmmmm….
Task 3
Finally, write an essay that combines the ideas shown by these two authors, Michael Lewis and Malcolm Gladwell, in these two videos with your opinions on your own life and your own future.
For part one, you’ll briefly summarize the ideas you want to discuss and give credit.
For the second part, you’ll talk about your own life. Consider ideas like the following, but don’t feel like you have to answer them all:
What is the role of luck in your life? Do you consider yourself lucky or not so far?
Who or what would you consider to be the luckiest aspects of your life to date?
What will it take to master your chosen pathway (like college, or major, or career)?
What obligation do you have to help others who are less lucky than you?
If you feel unlucky, how are you going to overcome that to be successful?
What is YOUR definition of success, and how are you going to make that happen?
1) identify: what is the central idea of Lewis’s speech? why might he have chosen to express his idea at a Princeton graduation ceremony?
2) Analyze: why does Lewis share his personal experiences at the beginning of the speech? How does this part of the speech affect his credibility?
5) Draw Conclustions: What is lewis’a overall purpose in this speech? How does the specific content of the speech contribute to that purpose?
