GRIT by Angela Duckworth, Chapters 7 & 8 only whilst answering critical thinking question

“In about 4 pages, explain what the chapters were about, what happened, and why it was important.  The goal is not to analyze or talk about how you feel about it–just summarize it.  Shoot for a sentence of yours for every paragraph of the original.  USE YOUR OWN WORDS.

Refer to the Writing Summaries assignment attached.  It explains how to annotate as you read on the first page and what is expected of all summaries on the second page.

in the course of your summary, be sure to answer the following questions: Explain the concept of deliberate practice. What is the advantage of using deliberate practice? Why does the quality of time on task make a difference in the level of success one achieves?
