Can you please use the sources above for writing the essay. There are some sources with exact chapters or pages but it does not mean that you should use only that part of the book. like you to use quotation marks if you use quotes,as it is compulsory. Also according to referencing please reference not only quotes,but also any information that you find in sources even if it is paraphrased. Please try to use the real books and on the contrary the internet sources as little as you can. reason about the question of the topic according to the theories or concepts that are connected with the topic. In some points there can be examples that should be proven by facts or sources if needed.

MAKE UP SCHOOL POLICY

Project description

PART I – (not in essay form in school policy form)

1. Draft a School Policy(1-2 pages not that detailed) for

a. Public or Private Middle School or High School

2. The audience for this policy is the local Board of Education for the public middle or high school or the Board of Trustees for the private school.

3. The policy need not be terribly detailed. Broad outlines of a proposal are all that is necessary. Outline the types of behaviors that fall within the policy and the types of behaviors that fall outside of the policy. You may, if you choose draft guidelines regarding appropriate punishment as well.

i. The policy will not be included as part of the required page limit for your argument in support of the policy. The purpose of requiring you to write a broad outline of the policy is merely so that I understand the parameters or your policy and can therefore better understand your argument in support of it.

4. Consider as part of your policy proposal, behavior that occurs on or off school property, using school equipment (computers, printers etc.) or equipment that is used off school property.

PART II – Value 5% of Final Grade

Develop an argument that supports your policy.

As your Reasoning text suggests taking a position ought to be more than merely being for or against something. Taking a position ought to include a consideration of various options, the belief system that supports those options and evidence upon which to ground those beliefs.

In question format, identify the stases that will guide your argument. In other words, having taken a position, there are certain issues (in the form of stases) that you must address. What are those issues? What questions will you pose to yourself as you draft your opinion piece?

1. Conjecture:

a. What is the exigence here?

b. What are the facts that exist that make this an issue an issue of importance?

c. What is the history?

2. Definition

a. How do you define the issue?

b. What are the parameters of the problem?

3. Consequence

a. How and why did this problem arise?

b. What is the effect of the state of affairs as you have outlined them in the stases of conjecture and definition?

4. Value

a. What are the end goals?

b. Are there values in conflict?

c. How do you resolve the conflict?

d. What is of greater importance: the end goals or the means used to achieve them?
