EWRT1A-63: Reading Response 3 prompts

Again, the reading for Tuesday is different than what is listed on the syllabus. Please read "Gender Bias in Education" by Amanda Chapman. There is also a reading response due (#3). Choose one of the following prompts:
  • Compare Chapman’s analysis of schools with Jean Anyon’s. What conclusions can you draw from both essays about the effects of school?
  • Does Chapman’s analysis of gender bias in school convince you? If so, why is her argument compelling? If not, why isn’t her argument compelling? Please provide specific evidence from the text in your response.
  • Choose you own focus for analyzing the text or synthesizing it with other texts from the class.
