Prompt:
Imagine for this paper that you are working for a school board candidate. She has found some
interesting articles on education (those we read for this unit), but she does not have time to
process them all, and she needs your help analyzing what she has found. In this paper, you
should form and develop an argument about the comparisons you make between two (or more)
articles on education, keeping in mind that your boss is interested in how experts opinions fit
together (or differ), not in your personal opinions or educational experiences. What are the
similarities and differences in these articles, and why do they matter? Do they see things the
same way? Do they see things differently? Taken together, do they give a fuller understanding
of the issue than either one individually? Does one article make the other clearer (or vice versa)?
Requirements:
-Your paper should follow all the APA style rules we have discussed and all other writing rules
we have discussed.
-It should contain several in-text citations and have a references page that matches those
citations.
-It should be at least 3 pages, and no more than 5 pages, excluding the cover and references
pages. An abstract is not required. Papers that do not meet the page minimum will have
proportional points deducted.
-You should not use personal experience in this paper. The use of the word I should be
minimal in this paper and avoided if possible.
-You must use at least two essays from the list of education essays we read and then discussed in
class.
