LUMEN Lessons
After reading the LUMEN lessons on “Quoting, Paraphrasing and Avoiding Plagiarism” and “Formatting the Works Cited Page (MLA)”, complete the following in preparation for this week’s discussion post:
Identify one quote from two module learning resources (two quotes total; not from Lumen lessons)
Integrate each quote into a sentence. You may choose to use a “direct quote” or paraphrase.
Include an MLA style in-text citation in parentheses at the end of each sentence.
Include full MLA style Works Cited entries for both sources.
Post your work to the Lumen Citing Sources Practice discussion board. You may use this information in your discussion post for this week. You do NOT need to complete peer responses for this post, though you may find it helpful to look at other students’ examples.
Part 2
Initial Post: April 17:For this discussion board post, respond to the prompt in two to three paragraphs (no bullets). Paragraphs should be organized by topic and not simply address the questions in order. Include examples from each of the texts, complete with MLA in text citations.
Prompt:
In Anyon’s article, she argues that students are “being prepared to occupy particular rungs on the social ladder.” What does this mean? Do you agree?
According to Anyon, what do teachers in the different types of schools expect from their students?
Edwards’ article makes a case that American schools are preparing students for a world that doesn’t exist and that a “learning by discovery” approach would better prepare students for the work world. Summarize what Edwards means by “learning by discovery.”
Of the four different types of schools that Anyon discusses in her article, which type would most likely adopt the “learning by discovery” model? What does that mean for students in other types of schools?
