As you know from class, a lot of today is about getting your rough draft written. You have the "building blocks" exercise to complete with your writing time; in addition, I would like you to post to the blog by 9 pm. Please respond to the following questions.
1. Which two pieces are you using for your essay?
2. Why did you choose these two?
The Purpose of Education and Qualities of Liberally Educated Person.
ReplyDeleteI chose both of these since they agree that the knowledge learned in a university is deeper than intelligence and instead, create a culturally well rounded person.

ReplyDeletePurpose of Education & Qualities of the Liberally Educated Person
I chose these two essays because they both have straight forward similarities and differences.

ReplyDelete1. I chose The Purpose of Education and Qualities of the Liberally Educated Person.
2. These documents seemed very similar to me and both focused on the importance of morals and character as a base for an education rather than just grades.

ReplyDelete1. The Purpose of Education & Learning in the Key of Life.
2. I choose these two because I really think they're very similar and I love the aspect of both. I also can relate to the overall idea about having both book and street smarts.
"The Purpose of Education" and "Qualities of the Liberally Educated Person" Because I am enlightened by both of those articles.

ReplyDelete1. "The Purpose of Education" and "Qualities of the Liberally Educated Person"
2. Both pieces have similarities as to the purpose of a higher education and the role teachers serve when it comes to educating students into what kind of people they should become.

ReplyDeleteI chose to compare/contrast "Learning in the Key of Life" and "Qualities of the Liberally Educated Person"
i chose these because i find both similar and because i like the subject of becoming a better person that is reflected on both.
1. I will write about "Qualities of the Liberally Educated Person" and "Implications of considering students as consumers".
ReplyDelete2. I chose "Qualities..." because I spent time in class discussing it today when we broke into groups and I like the list format that Cronon uses to express is ideas. I chose "Implications..." because I like the logic of Snare's argument. I think these essays will work well together because one is about how to make educated people and the other is about what an educated person is, and we can see that Snare's model will produce educated people up to Cronon's standards.

ReplyDelete1. I am not positive if I am going to use these two articles but as of now I have chosen to use The Purpose of Education and Qualities of the Liberally Educated Person.
2. First I chose the MLK speech because it was one of the ones I enjoyed most. I choose the Qualities of the Liberally Educated Person to compare and contrast because I found to have the same general idea as the speech. Both pieces focus on what an educated person is. Also, I really liked how both these pieces have generally the same content but each expresses it with a different style.

2. I chose these to readings, because they were very interesting to me, i understood them well, and felt i had a lot to work with if i did use them. I also chose them, because I could relate to them well making it easy to write about.

ReplyDelete1. I am going to use "The Purpose of Education" and "The Difference Between High School and College" for my essay.
2. I chose both of these pieces because I found them to have some very different points.
1. I will be writing about Snares topic on students being consumers and William Cronon's "Qualities of an Educated Person"
ReplyDelete2. I chose these pieces because I was most comfortable reading these essays and I feel as if I fully understand them then I can better explain them to my audience.

ReplyDelete1. Which two pieces are you using for your essay?
The Purpose of Education and Learning in the Key of Life
2. Why did you choose these two?
Honestly, these were the two articles that I first connected with. These pieces have so much to say, whether both saying some of the same concepts and others different. I am excited to write my piece on these essays
1. The two essays that I have chosen are Martin Luther King Jr.'s "The Purpose of Education" and Jon Spayde's "The Difference Between High School and College".
ReplyDelete2. I chose these two essays because I easily comprehend both the claims each author presents. Also I wanted to choose two essay that were more similar than more different.
1. I'm comparing Implications of Considering Students as Consumers and The Idea of a University
ReplyDelete2. I chose these two because they both promote higher education, but they were in different decades and address different audiences. I found this interesting
1) The Qualities of a Liberally Educated Person article and the Purposes of Education
ReplyDelete2) I enjoyed the philosophy of the first one and the bold critique of the second one. I feel like they both have a lot of contrast to work with.
I will be doing The Idea of a University and The Difference Between High School and College. I chose these two because they have enough for me to talk about. They talked about things that I think are true, so in a way I think I can analyze them better because of that.
