Module 1 – Case
ACADEMIC WRITING
Case Assignment
Note: Module 1 SLP should be completed before the Module 1
Case.
After viewing “An Education in Equality,” “Learning Begins
at Home,” “A Military Education,” and “an Education,” write an organized and
well-supported essay in which you make three observations about education and
what impacts (and enhances) student learning. Consider impacts and influences
such as parenting, home life, society, race, technology, ethnicity,
socioeconomics, etc.
A well-organized essay has a beginning, middle, and an end.
The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your
reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the
topic or situation. In this case, it might be the state of education today. The
last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states
the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be what impacts/influences
student learning.
A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details,
and examples. For this essay, you must decide the best way to organize the body
of the paper. Will you have a paragraph for each impact or enhancement? Will
you divide the body of your paper into three paragraphs, one for each impact?
In any case, each body paragraph must support (explain) your reasoning
(rationale) using specific details. Each body paragraph must begin with a topic
sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.
The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the
essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their
world. You may wish to offer suggestions to reader about what makes for
exceptional student learning.
Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar,
punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills
will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 1 Case
expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English
found in the course syllabus.
Papers must be double-spaced in Times or Times New Roman
font (12 cpi) with standard one-inch margins. A grade will be determined based
on the Module 1 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education
rubric for English.
The first person “I” is not used in a formal
essay, nor is the passive “you.” In place of “you,”
“one” may be used.
No secondary sources are to be used in the process of
writing this first paper; it is to be entirely written based on one’s point of
view and supported with body points and details.
