EDL 555 Essay 3

Order Description

Essay 3 is a “synthesis” assignment — it will require you to work back-and-forth between the two textbooks utilized in this course (Wlodkowski and Wilson). Refer to page 145 in the Wilson textbook — you should see 10. The Adult Educator which covers most of the page (for our purposes you can think of Developmental Education as Adult Education). Read Section 10 and for each of the five subsections (a, b, c, d, and e) you are to examine the Wlodkowsk textbook for at least one strategy that you believe supports, exemplifies, or epitomizes the concept in the Wilson subsecton (a-e). Moreover, you will need to explain WHY you think so. Thus, Essay 3 will have a cover page as usual and consist of five sections (one for each Wilson #10 subsection a-e) — in each section, quote verbatim the Wilson statement, then cite Wlodkowski’s strategy by name and number that you believe is related to Wilson’s statement, THEN write a brief paragraph explaining your thinking as to why the Wlodkowski strategy you selected does in fact relate to Wilson’s statement. Then do the same thing for the next four Wilson subsections a-e.
For detailed format requirements, please refer to the General Criteria for all Documents section in the syllabus (p. 6). The length of your report should be at least five pages, double-spaced, not including cover and reference pages. Below is the evaluation rubric for this assignment. Please follow the rubric closely to avoid losing points. I also provided a couple of sample essays to indicate the level of thought and insight required as well as grammatical correctness expected. When you write the essay, please remember the policy regarding plagiarism.
