Could you please write an essay according to the outline? Please don’t use too many vocabulary since English wasn’t my first language but I attended high school in US. I will write the essay using yours as a reference. Please feel free to change the outline a little bit or add more if needed in the essay. Please use however many sources you like.

Outline (With the professor’s revision):

General Introduction<–I encourage you to clearly state your argument(s) early on in the intro

The sociology behind concept of public vs private schools <– What do you mean here? Is this setting up your argument? Talking about the missions/goals of these two kinds of schools and what that might mean for how “well” they prepare students for college? And/or perhaps providing some of the history of the development of the two kinds of schools?

Reasons for the effectiveness differences observed between public and private schools:

· Benefits of choosing private schools or public schools <– This seems to me like the same as the headline–benefits of choosing one type of school or another could just be another way of referring to the “reasons for the effectiveness differences” of the schools. Do you mean something different/more specific here?

· Variation in learner features and preferences as well as in school composition.<–what kind of preferences are you referring to here?

· Differences in learning, teaching and administration conditions

· Curriculum factor

· School climate <–what specifically do you mean here? How is this different from learning, teaching, and administration conditions?

Below are the prompt from my professor:

Overview

The final project will represent a deeper dive into a topic related to our course, and should include a central argument for which you will build a case throughout your project. The argument can be in support of/ opposition to an argument/claim made by one or more people on the syllabus or it can be tangentially related to course materials. It can focus on the U.S. and/or another context, as well as on primary/ secondary school and/or “higher ed.” Regardless, it must somehow relate to a sociology of education.

Multiple Drafts & (Peer) Review Process

The final project is broken up into first and second drafts, with a review process in between. During the review, everyone will provide feedback to three other students. Everyone will also receive feedback from three other students, as well as the instructor. This process will provide an opportunity to develop skills in providing/ receiving feedback, as well as incorporating feedback into a project to revise it. This will likely produce a more “polished” project that you may wish to use in future applications that require a work sample.

Requirements

All projects, regardless of whether they are papers or not, should include

a central argument that is supported by a variety of sources, including
at least three sources not listed on the syllabus,
a written list of references (any consistent citation style is fine; APA is one example: ), and
significant revisions (we’ll talk more about what this looks like).
