Essay # 1 The concepts to consider are Education, Knowledge, and Learning. Please write a 5-paragraph essay with an introduction, conclusion, and three body paragraphs. All paragraphs should be 6-10+ sentences long. The document should have 750 + words. The Introduction should begin broadly and end your introduction with a thesis statement. The thesis statement should be in the introduction and clarify the intention of the essay. If you can’t fit all your intentions into one sentence, so be it, but I should (as a reader) know what your plan is at the close of your introduction. The Thesis should not reference the material we read. The thesis should answer a prompt question and challenge something. The Conclusion should share a final thought that drives the thesis to its logical conclusion. What ideas or thoughts go beyond your analysis? Try and keep a “golden nugget” for the conclusion. Also, when an introduction and conclusion have a connection, it can be dynamic. Body paragraphs should have a wise conceptually based topic sentence. Do not use essay titles or authors in your topic sentences. All material within each body paragraph should fit accurately inside. The topic sentence should be conceptual and relate to the thesis. The body paragraphs should refer to at least one of the essays we read in class. Please, no research, but use quotes and ideas from the material we have addressed here in the course. Do Not use yourself as an example within this essay. Remember this is a formal college essay. This is not a personal narrative. You must use at least three quotes from the essays and/or short story suggested for this assignment. You must use more than one of the readings. Do not simply drop a quote. Use context so the reader understands why you’ve used the quote. Share analysis and inference to show your deep understanding of the pieces. Your essay should use as support: “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara “Learning to Read and Write” by Frederick Douglass, “I Just Wanna Be Average” by Mike Rose, “The Allegory of a Cave” by Plato, “The Joy of Reading and Writing; Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie,” “What True Education Should Do” by Sydney J. Harris and/or “Learning to Read” by Malcolm X. After all the material, consider one or all of these questions to develop a thoughtful directed essay of your own. What happens when human beings make a commitment to something? When they decide something is good for them, how does a story unfold? How do things slowly come together to create advancement and realizations? These discoveries could be about learning, the world around us (them), self-discovery, planning, etc. What are the important ingredients within a fulfilling education? What is needed for everything to proceed in a logical and thoughtful way? Are there important elements missing from our public education system? Is our own education up to us? Who should decide? What does motivation have to do with education? What presses people to move forward into something? Is it self-motivation or others pushing us, or a little bit of both? Is knowledge power? Is it a currency? Is it freedom? If yes, how can it possibly be all these things? You may choose one to focus on if you wish. How and why do children, young adults, and adults today have disdain for knowledge and education? Things to Consider: Please write an essay about Education, Learning, or any aspect of growth through knowledge. You must use the essays we have read and discussed. They are listed above. When I say use, I mean reference them and use quotes from them. You must use at least three of them, but you may also use them all. Throughout your essay reference them or quote them to enhance your expression. You must use three quotes. RULES: Avoid acknowledging or referencing the essays we read in your introduction. Your introduction should discuss the concept you choose. YOUR essay isn’t about the essays we read. YOUR essay is about a concept: Education or a related concept. Still, the essays you read should be used as evidence or support for your conceptual focus. Incorporate the essays/authors/quotes into your work(mid-paragraph), discussing them within the paragraph to enhance your intent. Do Not use the titles or authors of the essays we read in your thesis statement. Do Not start your body paragraphs with the titles or authors of those essays. The best thing to do is start your body paragraphs with topic sentences that include one of the aspects or sub-aspects of your chosen topic. For instance, you could start one of your body paragraphs with this topic sentence: People have often referred to education as a type of currency, tradable and needed. OR Many activities outside school can surely be considered learning experiences. Do you see how broad and helpful these topic sentences are? After these sentences, you can discuss many things that will lead you to one of the essays we read and a quote from that same essay that gives a specific example of currency or experiences. Don’t forget to share details from the essay or short story and why and how the quote and situation shared are appropriate for your point. DO NOT SIMPLY DROP A QUOTE. There should be a formal introduction to the piece with the title the author and a bit of background or details of the author’s situation that leads us to the quote. Try to always think conceptually for TOPIC SENTENCES. They are UMBRELLA statements, meaning, everything within the paragraph should fit nicely and neatly underneath it. MLA Formatting ONLY UPLOAD Your MLA Formatted Word Doc or PDF (See video). Refer to Essay Writing to see how important brainstorming is in your process. Figure out what each body paragraph will reveal. Figure out through a thought process what aspects of education you would like to address. You may incorporate yourself as an author since you are the writer, BUT you should not be the main focus. Topic sentences should not be about you. This is your essay and you may use the pronoun “I,” but it is still an academic essay. You are a college student, not a professional writer. Casually discussing education with me in your document will not bode well for your grade. Take this seriously and stay organized. Make wise decisions about your body paragraphs. Helpful hint: Using “we” “us” and “our” in your essay is a good idea. That way, you are talking about all of us crazy humans; our entire world or culture. Be careful to be consistent in this. I say this because often writers get tangled up in using “one” and then can’t get out of it, or they continually use “you” and after a while, the reader disagrees. The reader thinks, “You as in me? No, that’s not me.” We use YOU casually when we talk about hypotheticals, but it does not work in formal documents. MLA MLA stands for Modern Language Association. My favorite website for MLA formatting assistance is OWL at Perdue University. If you type OWL into your Google browser, you will likely get images of owls and the website OWL Arrow This OWL is hyperlinked. Go to the site with it. Scroll down just a bit and you will see an example of a front page. MLA does not require a cover page. Do not use a cover page. The front page requirements are all there on OWL. There’s a list and an image of a perfect front page. Check it out! Times New Roman size 12 font no matter what, and double-spacing always, no matter what.
