The essay incorporates your blog, but it must go further. The focus shifts to analyze Carlos’s family circumstances. How did Carlos\u2019s family circumstances enable and\/or hinder his educational opportunities at the three schools? <\/span><\/span>Discuss how poverty limits opportunities for individuals and communities. Consider factors such as access to education, healthcare, and social services.<\/span> <\/span>To answer that question, use theoretical ideas found in the module three readings and media, specifically to support your analysis of Carlos\u2019s life. The work of Frank Furstenberg and Annette Lareau will be very helpful. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Write an introduction for your essay that defines social class and its role in determining children\u2019s developmental and educational opportunities. Remember to use the week three videos and the podcast as sources of information to help you incorporate important key concepts of capitalization, social mobility, opportunity structure, meritocracy, social stratification, social inequality, and poverty into your discussion.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Write a brief conclusion that restates your main points and proves your thesis. Include a statement on the value of the virtual field Trip. Did the Google Earth virtual field trip of the school neighborhoods mentioned in this podcast help you to better understand class differences than if you were to just listen to the podcast without the virtual tour?  In other words, did you find the addition of the virtual field trip to be helpful for your learning about class stratification and opportunity structures? Why or why not?<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cite all sources of information used in the essay. Use in-text parenthetical citations w\/page numbers to show where your ideas come from. and provide a reference page. References are added after you have reached your required word count.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span> <\/span>Length: This assignment must be 4-6 pages (excluding the title and reference page).<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Step Four:<\/b> <\/span>Answer the Following Questions <\/span><\/p>\n

 Question One:  <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Compare and contrast the images you saved from your walk around Lennox Middle School with the images saved from Brentwood School and Choate Boarding School. Specifically, what indications of class or economic differences do you notice between these neighborhoods? Remember to include your images in your paper as you discuss each school. What key words come to mind? <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     Question Two:  <\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Gladwell discusses the concept of capitalization. What is capitalization?  Define capitalization and compare capitalization in schools like Lennox Middle School with Brentwood and Choate schools. How are these schools different? Reading descriptions from each schools’ Websites might be helpful as one step in your description and analysis. Remember to use your key terms. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Question Three:  <\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. According to Gladwell, how does Carlos’ story illustrate why we (the United States) are not so great at capitalization?  Do you agree with Gladwell’s assessment?  If yes, what should we do about our poor capitalization rate?  If not, why not? (Explain what Gladwell is missing.) Remember to use your key terms. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Question Four: <\/span><\/p>\n

        <\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Did the Google Maps virtual field trip of the school neighborhoods mentioned in this podcast help you to better understand class differences than if you were to just listen to the podcast without the virtual tour?  In other words, did you find the addition of the virtual field trip to be helpful for your learning about class stratification and opportunity structures?
