Outliers & Overachievers

If you are out of class and not having an Overachievers text, go to this link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Overachievers-Secret-Lives-Driven-Kids/dp/140130902X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1535739356&sr=8-1&keywords=the+overachievers. Look at the book cover on the far left side, and click on "Look Inside." Then, scroll down to Chapter 1 and read whatever assigned sections are for your class. 

1 & 4: Two classes in the same place, which involves finishing up the 15 vocab words from unit 12, delineating the strategies and purposes in quick passages from The Outliers, and breaking down how Robbins introduces her first Overachiever, Julie the Superstar, through surface enumeration, realistic pathos, anecdotes, and first person journals. For homework, you are to finish reading Julie's section and then read either Audrey or AP Frank, taking notes of how the person is introduced and any strategies you can find. 

3: We are still in meeting mode, which will continue tomorrow.

7: After wrapping up how Robbins constructed Superstar Julie, we moved into the next 2 Overachievers, Audrey and AP Frank. If absent, you should finish the reading and close read for organization and strategies to see how the author introduces the other people populating this competitive world of academics.
