Grit × Integrated Skills: The Path to Success 恆毅力與英文讀寫說：邁向成功之路 (Vers. 18 hrs)

Course:  Grit × Integrated Skills: The Path to Success (Vers. 18 hrs)

Course Description: This course aims to enhance students' holistic competencies of English language and oral presentation skills, while cultivating students' characters, grit in particular. Student-centered and cooperative learning approaches will be adopted. Students will learn 2 role models (Kristjánsson, 2006) of grit (i.e., Walt Disney & Jeremy Lin) from multiple sources, analyzing and discussing their success stories, and eventually putting all together in an oral presentation. Also, students will do the guided reading of the book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, by Angela Duckworth and explore deeper into the character of grit in class activities. In short, students are expected to connect and combine what they learn from the chosen role models with the book/grit. Starting from analyzing the paragons' characters in terms of the four grit elements, students ultimately achieve their own success by exercising grit.

Levels: 10-12 graders

Course Components: Presentation Skills+Emulation of Role Models (Kristjánsson, 2006) + 4 Attributes of Grit Elements
