I’ve decided to redo my paper because it was not working out how I wanted it to. These are from my original draft. Part One: Original: Boyer’s idea of an enriched major is involved in many different majors. Specifically in the elementary education major it is seen especially in the history behind the major. Boyer’s three questions are “What is the history and tradition of the field to be examined? What are the social and economic implications to be understood?…
1- In my paper I affirm by saying that enriched majors are good and going into more depth about how education is an enriched major. I challenge/add by saying that edu is found in all four metagenres and asking if it should have its own metagenre or if Carter forgot one. 2- They think I have enough of an introduction. I need more explanations and more of my idea. 3- I use good evidence. I just need to work on…
Elementary education fits into all of Carter’s metagenres, it is almost like it is its own metagenre. It fits into problem solving because you need to be able to solve issues to be a teacher. You cannot go into a classroom and not expect random issues to come about and if you cannot cope with them or change plans to solve the issue, why be a teacher? It also fits into empirical inquiry because in order to become a teacher…
Boyer’s idea of an enriched major is involved in many different majors. In the elementary education major it is seen especially in the history behind the major. Boyer asks “What is the history (…) of the field to be examined? What are the social and economic implications to be understood?” Education majors graduate to become teachers and they influence – social implications- so many children who will end up becoming the ‘new’ history of the major. The education major also…
I did not find this assignment helpful. I found it hard to make connections like this. Usually when I write papers my connections come to me as I’m writing but having to look through these articles and make connections this way was not the best. I found these articles to be kinda wordy and not super interesting to me. I’m sure it will help me in the end but I don’t see how it will now. I honestly do not…
Carter says that the main issue for WID professionals is the gap between writing inside and outside of the disciplines. Carter says that teachers don’t like to include writing in their classroom because it limits what they can teach. “Writing is considered outside the disciplines, the province of English teachers, and thus unable to play an important role in the disciplines.” The ability to write/teach writing in the classroom needs to be connected to the ability to write outside the…
Task 1: I am going to include all of these somewhere in my essay: They mention that there are “boutique” classes replacing important classes, but colleges only have classes that teach important skills. This is a coordinated sentence because it talks specifically about the fun electives and then that all classes at colleges have important skills to teach. I am going to use this in my paragraph that uses a naysayer. Going to a career specific college is good because…
In “How Colleges are Failing Liberal Arts Majors” by Kenneth Kolson and Alexis Zhang, it is said that many liberal art schools are actually failing . “Out of the 1,000 schools reviewed, 34% earned a “D” or an “F.”” Schools are failing at providing an education that includes all the necessary skills that make liberal arts schools so popular. “Introductory survey courses have disappeared in favor of boutique electives… . Once the bedrock of the liberal arts degree, general education…
UNE’s goal is to help students, “develop foundational knowledge and critical thinking skills that are necessary for understanding and assuming their roles in natural, social, humanistic, and other environments.” UNE has required classes for students to take that are outside of their major so that they learn these necessary skills. Scheuer talks about how, “free minds are flexible minds, trained to recognize that many areas of inquiry are interconnected and many disciplinary boundaries are porous.” When I read that I…
What big concerns did you have about your draft as you completed the first draft? My biggest concern was making the word minimum because I feel like I could not find a lot of connections and I did not want to sound way too repetitive. My second concern was not using too many quotes and having enough of my opinion. What did your peers like most about your paper? Be specific, perhaps by quoting from one (or more) of the…
