T3w3 focus on research
Learning objective: to understand the role of research in academic writing
Success criteria:
1. We can define research.
2. We can identify possible topics for study
3. We can describe the key ideas in a text
Two possible topics for our practise research and writing: the advantages and disadvantages of the prison system in New Zealand OR the ideal school system.
We looked together at an article by a US university student Heather Schmitt on her observations on visiting schools in Cuba.
Then we looked at academic language in the article which was challenging, but could be found in many academic articles on different topics:
preconceived
rigorous
consensus
multicultural
acquisition
facet
aptitude
