BODY PARAGRAPHS:

“Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint,”
“So far, the best idea I’ve heard about building grit in kids is something called growth mindset.”
What types of evidence does the lecturer use to build their case?
Is the lecturer’s evidence convincing?
Does the lecturer use humor or try to evoke any other emotion from the audience? How? Is it successful or unsuccessful? In other words, does it help or hurt the argument? Why?
What, if any, visual aids does the lecturer incorporate into his lecture?
Provide examples of the visual aids and analyze their effectiveness.
If visual aids are absent, consider why the speaker chose not to use visual aids.
Did this choice add to or take away from the effectiveness of the argument?
Is the lecturer credible? How does the lecturer/speaker establish his or her ethos?
Synthesis: (please include at least 2 quotes from the article)
Find an article from an academic journal on a similar topic as the lecture.
What is the thesis of the article?
Connect the lecture’s information with information from the journal article. Does the information in the academic journal article support/expand on/disagree with the argument/information provided by the speaker?
How does the TED talk contribute to the academic conversation? In other words, what do we see when we look at both the TED talk and the journal article that we would not see if we looked only at one or the other?
Conclusion:
Consider the overall significance of the lecture or
Consider why this topic is significant in a larger context or
Consider the exigence of the lecture
