Educational experiences and observations
SIGNS OF LIFE IN THE USA:
Final Essay Paper: (600-800 words)
You are free to write a longer piece, if you are so inspired.
Please respond to the following prompt:
Support, challenge, or complicate Greg Andrew’s statement in Alfred Lubrano’s “The Shock of Education: How College Corrupts” (531) that “every bit of learning takes you further from [home]” (para. 1)
Your response should include an introduction with a thesis, focused body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Other than reading Lubrano’s essay in our textbook Signs of Life, the writing prompt is asking you to reflect on your educational experiences and observations–there are no right or wrong responses. By now you know I always push for specific examples as opposed to generalized statements. Relax, enjoy the writing process, and ask me if you have questions.
