Anu Partanen “Finland’s School Success” & Jonathan Kozol ““Fremont High School”

Assignment

Draft, revise, and edit your text to produce a well-organized essay of at least 600 words and not more than 800. Your essay should be a synthesis of the following readings:

• Anu Partanen “Finland’s School Success” (pg. 999-1006)
• Jonathan Kozol ““Fremont High School” (pg. 770-778)

Purpose

The point of a synthesis is to infer significant relationships between the information and ideas in various sources and communicate those relationships clearly. Your essay should go beyond summary and critique to argue a point about an important or significant relationship between sources. Your thesis should contain your own original idea based on your sources.

Skills

The purpose of this assignment is to help you practice the following skills that are essential to this course, first year composition, and most importantly, writing and researching across the curriculum: critical reading, critical thinking, evaluation, synthesis, and analysis.

Knowledge

This assignment will help you become familiar with synthesizing sources. A synthesis requires you to infer significant relationships between multiple sources and make an argument based on those relationships.

Task

Your essay should contain the following: an introduction, at least four body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Focus on developing each body paragraph with plenty of details and explanations to make your argument convincing. Four body paragraphs means that you need to make four points supporting your thesis. Use MLA format for the essay.

Criteria for Success:
• Begin your essay with appropriate background information about the source essays. Your introduction should draw your readers in and lead them smoothly to your thesis statement. In the introduction, mention the authors by full name and state the titles of the readings. Include a very brief (1-2 sentences) summary of each reading. Your thesis should clearly state an arguable claim based on connections between the two readings.

• Explain your ideas adequately. Simply listing points is not enough. They must be explained. Include material from at least one reading in each body paragraph.

• Organize your essay. Well-developed, unified, coherent body paragraphs should directly support your thesis. Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence.

• Check for good grammar and clear sentences. Proofread carefully.

INVESTIGATIVE FIELD ESSAY AND ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

INVESTIGATIVE ESSAY

(Minimum of 2,000 typed, polished words)
This assignment asks you to explore the discourse of your declared, or prospective academic major, so that you can be a better, more engaged participant of this discourse community as you continue with your field of study. There are several elements that make up an investigative essay, including the fashioning of a research question, conducting primary and secondary research, and the presentation of information in written format following academic conventions.

To begin, you will identify a contemporary topic or issue WITHIN your field of study that you wish to learn more about. Importantly, in order to maximise your engagement with your London and/or wider UK location and the resources available to you as a result, you will be researching your topic/issue with a focus on, and in relation to, its London or UK context. For example, if you are studying History, your topic might focus on an aspect of London/British history. If you are a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) student, you might focus on an aspect of a STEM-related topic in London/UK. A Business student could research an established London/UK business or indeed a London/UK start-up company, while a Sports management or Hospitality and Events Management major could investigate a London/UK sports club or London/UK-based Event. A student of the creative arts could explore a topic relating to the music, theatre or publishing industries in London/UK.

Having identified your topic, you will form a research question that will serve as the cornerstone of your investigative essay. In order to explore your research question, you will engage in a variety of research methods. Research is finding information—and there are many ways to go about finding information. You will discover, however, that some research methods are favored within your academic discourse community. For instance, while the humanities tend to prefer secondary research (consulting scholarly, popular, and professional publications), the sciences tend to prefer primary research (collecting data through interviews, surveys, first-hand observations, and experiments). To that end, it is up to you to identify what research methods are most appropriate for your project.

Self-Assesment Essay

Overview
Mike Palmquist, the author of our textbook The Bedford Researcher, says that “Thinking about writing as a form of conversation allows you to build on skills you already possess” (Palmquist 4). Maybe we already recognize the truth of this idea or we are just starting to think about the fact that we all bring writing skills with us into this course. For
this essay assignment, you are going to assess your own growth as a writer to this point in your life and your readiness for WRIT 201.

Assignment
There is a set of skills everyone taking WRIT 201 should be able to do and feel comfortable with by the end of the semester—these are laid out as outcomes in the WRIT 201 syllabus and align with the habits of mind for successful college writers laid out in the document Framework for Success in Post Secondary Writing (Links to an external site.)

We have all come into this semester with different levels of preparedness and interest as well as with a unique set of experiences with writing. What I am asking you to consider in your essay is whether and how your experiences, preparation, and interest have set you up to be successful in WRIT 201.

While brainstorming for this essay, you might consider the any of following ideas:

● What lessons have you learned from your past writing experiences?

● How has your history with writing contributed to your confidence (or lack of confidence) in yourself as a writer?

● How prepared and comfortable do you feel approaching this college writing course based on the syllabus?

● Where do you see strengths and weaknesses in yourself when it comes to the habits of mind from the Framework For Success?

● How will your attitude toward/approach to WRIT 201 be similar to or different from writing classes or experiences you have had in the past?

While drafting your essay, you should look for ways to incorporate the WRIT 201 syllabus, Frameworks for Success in Post-Secondary Writing, the opening chapter of the Bedford Researcher (if you read it early), and/or any other source you would like to support and perhaps guide your writing.
