Here's an original synthesis-style essay prompt that's perfect for AP Lang & Comp or a college Comp/Rhetoric class (where I use it).

I made using Outliers optional, but you may require students use this as one of their sources. I give these articles ahead of time and we watched videos related to the articles (I have students take careful notes). The links are:
