PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW
REQUIREMENTS.
Write an argumentative essay in which you
reflect on what you believe are significant
problems in education that need to be
addressed. You will need first to identify the
problem(s) and then discuss why you think
the problem(s) and need(s) are that should be addressed. As you develop your ideas,
remember to analyze the situation to show
that it is a real problem; just saying it is a
problem is not enough. You should discuss the cause of the problem, identify those whom it impacts, and explain the impact. As you
brainstorm to identify a problem you want to
write about, you might think about the
following areas:
• A particular curriculum—for example,
required courses in elementary school, high
school, or college, or the particular skills
taught in one of those courses
• Learning environment—for example, physical classrooms, access to technology within
classrooms, or online learning experiences
• Disciplinary practices—academic practices within a particular major or field of study.You
should provide relevant and sufficient
information and data to support your
assessment. Be sure to fully consider the scope of the problem by analyzing it thoroughly and evaluating it carefully. You are not responsible for providing a solution, just showing that something is a problem.
You should have an
introduction that moves from general
information to more specific information
ending with the most
specific information: a clear argumentative
thesis that makes a case for the problems you are going to show in your paper. The body
should be comprised of several 8/11-point
paragraphs. End the paper with a conclusion
that gives your final thought and does not just merely restate your thesis and main points.
Your essay follow MLA guidelines, incorporate at least 6 credible sources, Times new roman
12-font and have a properly formatted Works
Cited page.
