Assignment: The Evolving Nature of Schooling in Virtual Age Argumentative Essay

Topic: What is education for?

Overview

For your second writing project, you will respond to multiple assigned texts on a contemporary topic of interest. By synthesizing your understanding of these texts with your own experience, you will contribute to an ongoing conversation about a specific problem related to the broader topic. You will demonstrate an understanding of using sources and will practice, in particular, analysis, synthesis, summary, paraphrase, and the incorporation of quotations.

Project Details

Your second writing project invites you to develop an understanding of a question that has relevance for all of us in this class: what is education for? You will develop an understanding of this topic by reading and analyzing a range of sources that address this general question from a variety of perspectives. You will then synthesize your understanding of these sources as you define and take a position in response to a specific problem related to the general topic.

Your argumentative essay will ultimately do the following:

A. Delineate a specific problem - informed by the texts we have considered together in class - related to education today;

B. Explain and analyze the intellectual conversation taking place in relation to the problem you have described;

C. Join the intellectual conversation you have outlined, citing and making connections between texts as interlocutors as you develop your own interpretive position;

D. Indicate what new questions or challenges you have discovered through this writing-as-conversation process, which future interlocutors might do well to consider.

This process will allow you to consider the ideas of others who have a vested interest in the motivating question "what is education for?" as you develop your own understanding of the complexities and stakes of this issue. Remember that by virtue of being enrolled at Rutgers, you also have a vested interest in this overarching question!
