Definition with Examples
The planning fallacy refers to the fact that people consistently
overestimate how quickly and easily they will achieve a goal and
underestimate the amount of time or effort that will be required to
reach that goal. In a study that examined the planning fallacy,
college students were asked to list an academic project that had to
be completed within the next week and to estimate when they
intended to begin the project, when they expected to complete the
project, and how many hours they expected to put into it. A week
later, the students were asked if they had completed the project and
when. Although all the students had estimated that they would
complete the project comfortably in the time indicated, one week
later more than half the projects remained incomplete. Those that
had been completed had typically taken, on average, nearly five
days longer than had been estimated. So much for planning!
What internal text features help you to know what term the
author is defining to the reader?
What examples or illustration does the author use as support?

accomplish a task faster than
the time it takes to do so
EX: students think an
assignment will take a short
period of time and when they
start on it they learn it takes
much longer
Time Order
Hypothermia can kill at an amazing pace when cold temperatures
and strong winds cause the body to lose heat quickly. Shivering starts first
in order to produce body heat from the rapid muscular shaking. When the
body's temperature drops to or below 35 deg C/95 deg F, dizziness and
disorientation kick in, then the shivering stops. The body now only
maintains heat around the vital organs - brain, heart and lungs, and shuts
down blood circulation to the arms and legs. Heart rate becomes slow,
intermittent and weak, and the blood vessels widen. This makes a person
feel hot and want to remove all their clothes before they finally slip into
unconsciousness. Ultimately, the heart stops. Stories are told of climbers
being found naked and dead up on a mountain, with their clothes folded
neatly a short distance away. This is because the person becomes confused
and hot. Their brain tries to bring order to the scary and unfamiliar
situation, although this can be potentially lethal.

Compare and Contrast
Personal or interpersonal channels of
communication can occur in social settings when
friends or acquaintances share information. Such
word-of-mouth communication is a very powerful
sources of information for consumers. Word-of-mouth
communication is usually not under the control of the
marketer. Commercial sources of interpersonal
communication usually come in the form of personal
selling efforts. Nonpersonal channels of
communication, as defined earlier, do not involve direct
communication between sender and receiver. Instead,
information is shared through mass communication.
Advertising, sales promotion, and publicity use
nonpersonal techniques. Both interpersonal and mass
communication are important in marketing.

CAUSE & EFFECT
Smoking is the single most preventable risk factor
for fatal illnesses in the United States. Indeed, cigarette
smoking leads to more deaths than all other drugs, car
accidents, suicides, homicides, and fires combined.
Further, nonsmokers who inhale smoke from other
people’s cigarettes face an elevated face risk for lung
cancer and other illnesses related to the lungs, a fact
that has given rise to a nonsmoker’s rights movement in
the United States.
