Unit 1 Essay Assignment
Your four formal unit essays during the semester will focus on a single general
topic, with each approaching this topic from a different perspective. This
semester, we are going to consider the nature of education and what it means to
be educated. For your first unit essay assignment, I want you to begin with what
you believe are the most important things that students should or can or do
expect of educational institutions. As we think about this broad question in
depth, we will be considering narrower aspects of it. I want you to choose one of
these more focused issues and build an original essay around it. Use your essay to
dig deep, to think the issue through as far as you can. Begin with our
classwork but try to move beyond it. Try to communicate some new, interesting,
developed set of ideas, to move beyond the obvious. And if, during our work,
some related issue grabs you, your essay can focus on this. You do not have to
limit your work to addressing the central question of what stude its expect from
schools.
In fact, I do not want you to use your essay to answer this larger generative
question. I want you to use your writing to think through some narrower part of it
in more depth than you would have imagined possible before we began workine,

In fact, I do not want you to use your essay to answer this larger generative
question. I want you to use your writing to think through some narrower part of it
in more depth than you would have imagined possible before we began working
on it in class. Use your writing to look critically at some limited issue (and
consequently at our world), to push your thinking beyond what you might have
already worked out. In short, work on writing an essay that is worth writing as
well as worth reading. This is an admittedly difficult task. But it is one worth
doing, and I know you can do it. Remember the words of Socrates: “An
unexamined life isn’t worth living.” That’s what our project is this semester-we
are using writing to critically examine our lives. (Incidentally, you may recall that
Socrates was executed for his work educating his fellow Athenians. Critical
thinking can be a dangerous business in more ways than one.)
This first essay should be two-and-a-half to five word-processed, double-spaced
pages long, in multiple-paragraph form, with one-inch margins in 12-point font,
plus a “Works Cited” page. It should include appropriate citation, for at least one
source. Please note that the essay must incorporate one source (clearly cited in
the essay text and properly listed on a “Works Cited” page) and be two-and-a-half
pages in length to meet the minimum passing requirements of the assignment.
We will consider potential sources you might use and how to use them and
