WEEK 3. Watch the video 10 Secrets to Achieve Financial Success on YouTube.
This is an interview with trading educator Anton Kriel.
I suggest you watch the interview at least a couple of times before you write your response. We always miss important and interesting details when we watch or listen to something only once.
Topic For Composition Exercise #2:
At six minutes into the video interview we get an idea of the theme/purpose of the video. Why does Anton Kriel want to do this interview? The video is not about trading nor about getting rich but about “wider issues” and that until people resolve these issues they will be neither wealthy nor free. What are these “wider issues”? Which one of the ten “secrets” do you find most useful and how could you apply it to your life? Please answer these questions and explain your answers. Also quote from the video.
***DIRECTIONS***
Composition Exercise Directions
I’ll score your composition exercise on a 4-point scale with a point for format, a point for content, a point for focus and a point for clarity.
For all three composition exercises please write:
1. (format) a 500-word composition. Use Courier New, 12-point font and double space and MLA style.
2. (content) Your composition needs an answer and specific details for each question in the topic. Within your 500-word limit you must cite from the material you’ve read and/or watched to support your ideas. As Abraham Lincoln wrote, “It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.” Use two-three quotes from the sources in your composition to “fit” your interpretation of the material.
3. (focus) Stay focused on the topic. Everything you write should have a connection to the topic and your ideas.
4. (clarity) When you proofread check for common errors like fragments, run-on’s, commonly confused words, tense shift, subject-verb disagreement, spelling, etc. Try to adhere to the KISS Principle. This means keep your sentences short and simple and divide your composition into short easy to read paragraphs.
