English Assignment Sheet, What Did You Learn? Essay, Instructor: Regina Y. Favors, ENGLISH 1301 Coreq (Online)

Description

Given the lecturing, drafting, and writing processes surrounding the Grit Essay, you will write an essay on what you have learned to date. This is a knowledge check and mid-semester self-assessment and reflection essay to gauge your progress regarding key composition-based principles and strategies. You will write this essay based upon your recent experience writing the Grit Essay, which required quote integration, minor argument building, and synthesis. You are not writing another Grit Essay. However, you are gauging what you learned during the learning, applying, and writing processes surrounding the topic and essay development.

You will consider all aspects of the processes leading up to writing the essay and the processes that followed writing the essay. Processes leading up to writing the essay include lecture, discussion board activities, reading summaries, any extra credit, discussion of sources, and peer review. You will also consider the drafting processes as well as instructor feedback, if you submitted a draft to the instructor, and peer feedback via the discussion board for your DIRW 0315 course.

You may consider the source materials but at your discretion and your flexibility. This knowledge check essay can be interpreted as a free-write that may be narrative in form with some references to materials and/or as a semi-developed essay with multiple references and quoting. The answer to the question “What did you learn?” will be your thesis statement.

This is a completion essay with point considerations.

Thinking Routine: #3: Sentence Phrase Word (10 points)

Top of Form

Instructions

Purpose

The purpose of the above thinking routine is to help you as learners reflect on how your thinking has shifted and changed over time concerning a particular topic and/or subject matter discussed during lecture. The thinking routine affords you the opportunity to synthesize and explore new ideas on the relevance and necessity of single-sex colleges today in an environment when college opportunity is afforded to both genders.

  Part One: Writing Prompt

Women's colleges, once common in the United States, have been going coeducational in increasing numbers in the past 40 years. Many people argue that women's colleges are unnecessary now that all of the major United States colleges and universities are open to women, but others, citing studies that show that graduates of women's colleges are more successful than women who graduate from coed colleges, argue that women's colleges still have much to offer.  Are single-sex colleges obsolete, or do they still provide an important alternative to coed colleges? Support your position with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.—Source,  Critierion.org, ETS

Part Two: Written Response

Type your responses in the boxes. Do not type the whole sample sentence. An abbreviated version is fine. Use quotation marks.

1. Which  sentence  was meaningful to you, that you felt captured a core idea of the prompt? Explain your selection.

2. Which  phrase  moved, engaged, or provoked you? Share your sentence. Explain your selection.

3. Which  word  captured your attention or struck you as powerful? Share your sentence. Explain your selection.
