Case Assignment

Note: The Module 3 Case Assignment is a first draft of the final course essay in the Module 4 Case Assignment.

Assignment Expectations

Prepare a rough draft of a well-supported and well-organized essay incorporating secondary sources.

Case Assignment is the final course essay and is a reworking of the Case 3 first draft after instructor feedback and suggestions for improvement.

After reading the two sources below, write a well-organized and well-supported essay in which the thesis addresses the pros and/or cons of homeschooling.

Martin, M. (2013, August 6). Parents on the pros and cons of homeschooling. Retrieved February 23, 2016, from http://www.npr.org/2013/08/06/209512313/parents-on-the-pros-and-cons-of-homeschooling

Fedele, R. (2010, May 13). When it comes to schooling, there’s no place like home. Retrieved February 23, 2016, from http://www.smh.com.au/national/education/when-it-comes-to-schooling-theres-no-place-like-home-20100513-v1cw.html

In addition to the two sources above, the essay must include at least one additional credible and reliable source selected by the student.

A well-organized essay has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab the reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. In this case, it would be brief summary on homeschooling. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be a statement affirming the paper’s stance on homeschooling.

A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. It is important to determine the best way to organize the body of the paper. Will there be one or two paragraphs for each supporting point? Will the body of the paper be divided into four or more paragraphs, one for each point? In any case, each body paragraph must support (explain) the reasoning (rationale) using specific details. Each body paragraph must have a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph, which in this case would be each supporting point.

This essay must include no fewer than SIX citations from the THREE required sources (the two above and the third selected by the student). Citations are to be a combination of direct quotations and paraphrased quotations.

The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression. In closing, what is the final word or assessment on homeschooling? Is homeschooling beneficial to students? Can it be detrimental? Could it possibly be both beneficial and detrimental?

The essay must also include a Reference List that includes the three or more sources quoted in the essay.

Be sure to proofread the essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 4 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English.

Papers must be double-spaced in Times or Times New Roman font (12 cpi) with standard one-inch margins.

The first person “I” is not used in a formal essay, nor is the passive “you.” In place of “you,” “one” may be used.
