Using searching strategies you have learned, research one of the topics
listed under Education Issues at the end of each chapter in your
textbook. Use a word processor to write an essay (500 words) taking a
position on this issue based on your research. Include at least 3
references (APA syle). Save a digital
copy for your files. Turn in a hard copy on the evening that it is due.
Briefly report to the class the topic of
your paper, your position and why.
- Identify and define the issue
- Clearly state your position
- Give reasons and examples to support your position
- In your conclusion summarize keys points and explain what you think
should be done
- Carefully edit for spelling, grammar and usage errors
