Gladwell Examples: “He’s just out-learning her: he’s putting in a few solid months of learning during the summer while she watches television and plays outside” (Gladwell 259). “The extra time gave Corcoran the chance to make mathematics meaningful: to let his students see the clear relationship between effort and reward” (Gladwell 262). Write-alike: Write three sentences that each have a colon. Your topic could be Color Day.
