Angela Lee Duckworth on Grit Questions

0 comments

I’m working on a Writing question and need guidance to help me study.

Watch the following TED Talk video and read the article, “The Significance of Grit: A Conversation with Angela Lee Duckworth.”

TED Talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/angela_lee_duckworth_the_key_to_success_grit (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)

Article: http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/sept13/vol71/num01/The-Significance-of-Grit@-A-Conversation-with-Angela-Lee-Duckworth.aspx (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)

Respond and answer the following questions using complete sentences.

How does Angela Lee Duckworth define grit, and what is the best way to build grit? What is her reason for why this works?

What does she mean by saying that “grit and talent either aren’t related at all or are actually inversely related?”

In what ways are the content from the video and article related to our class?

Imagine you are talking to a friend who is thinking about giving up on an important goal. Based on Duckworth’s work, what advice would you offer your friend?
