Hey there, so I had originally said that this last Monday I was going to assign 3-4 more posts for you to do, bringing it up to 12. Let's hold off on that for a bit. Instead what I would like you to do is to go through the posts you do have, (its 8 or 9 depending on which class you are), and begin to take your first attempt at creating your essay #2.
The first thing you should do is to go back and read through and think about your posts—you may also want to re-look at the video prompts—and see if you can begin to shape a coherent discussion that links these different posts into a single essay that situates you inside of Education—what value does it have for you, what challenges do you face, what strategies do you employ. The paper as well will be exploring your POV about Education itself—its value, its challenges, its role in our society.
Part of your job is to begin to decide which writing should go first, which writing should follow after, etc.
As you begin to build this essay you will be drawing from 3 sources of writing: 1) the blog posts you have already created (of course you may well want to expand them and add to them)…2) any new writing you do to flesh out your ideas…3) transitional phrases and paragraphs you create to stitch together your paper’s flow/argument.
For your first day of class next week I would like you print out and bring your first attempt at doing the paper. Dont worry to much if it feels a bit choppy. Try to write and bring as much as you can!
For the M/W and Mon nite class, pls bring the draft on MONDAY, OCT 14
For the Wed nite class, pls bring it on WED, Oct 16.
