EDUC 605 - Murillo

Response Paper #1

Instructions: Write a 4 page paper (double-spaced) responding to the following question:

Why are some students more successful in school than others?

The purpose of this activity is to explore and expand your opinions, beliefs, and overall subjectivity about schooling and education. As we read and discuss more about the history/philosophy/anthropology/sociology/culture of schooling in the U.S., I hope that you come to agree that your own experiences and opinions are a viable form of knowledge.

Therefore I expect you to draw from your personal experiences when responding to the above question.

However, to receive full credit for this assignment you must define and integrate at least 4 major concepts or terms thus far from class (lectures/readings) to illustrate your response.
