Essay #1--Your Dream School—McFarland—Chabot Fall 2016

For this first Essay assignment, you are going to dream. You are being asked to dream about creating a different vision for how a college might function. Below are some questions to consider. You should plan to answer all the questions, and it is REALLY important that you do RULE of 3 for each question. (All that really means is that for each question, you should try to come up with 3 separate concepts. Each concept should be developed inside its OWN paragraph.) (If you skip one question, that is OK, and if you do only 2 paras for one or two of the questions, that is OK too. The goal should be at least 12 body paras for this paper.)

1.     When you analyze all the different schools you have attended, what would you say are 3 major problems that you notice?

2.     If you were going to design a school that did the best job of bringing the most out of its students, and uncovering and unleashing student passion, what might be some features of this educational setting?

3.     When a student graduates from your school, what would you want them to Be, or Feel, or Think, or Know?

4.     How might teachers be different?

5.     What role might Student Voice play in your dream school?

6.     What role might Nature play in the school?
