The purpose of this assignment is to understand how arguments–and knowledge–are made in academic writing, especially using the genre of an IMRAD essay.
First, read the following Purdue OWL pages
Think about how the suggestions they make about how academic scholars compose arguments fits with what you have read in the assigned academic essays and the ones you read for Assignment #1: Literature Review.
Second, read Nava "Where Teachers and Students Meet" from Young Scholars in Writing, volume 10 paying attention to how well she followed the generic expectations of an IMRAD essay and how she made her argument.
Third, individually think through the following questions as they apply to the Nava article:
Fourth, as a group use the strategy that your team designed for Activity #1: Creating a Plan for Collaboration to answer these questions in a 500-750-word cohesive statement. I am not interested in the perspective of one person in the group whom the others have assigned to answer a single question. I want to learn how you helped each other understand this text and what the group collectively learned from the article. The answer to these questions should reflect the diversity of your group.
On March 22, 2018, only one person from each team needs to submit the Activity to the Google Classroom; however, all other team members should mark the Activity as done in Google Classroom.
