Please writing is based on the paragraph pitch I attached. You can definitely imagine any details, but I don’t want you to write a totally different topic than the content in this pitch. Also, please read the prompt and do the requirement including the 3 citations & relate to the topics. I’ve attached all the course readings in the files. The topics in our classes include:
– Mediation
– Context/Environment
– Unit of Analysis
– Genetic Methods
– Cognition
– Internalization
– Agency/Constraint
– History
– Socialization
– Formal/Informal learning
– Figured World
– Practice-linked identities
– Interest Development

Prompt:

For this assignment, you will write a 2page (single-spaced; 1500 words) narrative essay about an instance of learning (or teaching) about your particular interest (e.g. music, art, cooking, video gaming, community outreach) that took place somewhere other than a school setting. Since our final project is going to be on online spaces, if you have an experience of developing interest in online learning place,  please write about that experience. The goal is to think about how the experience contributed to your learning in ways that we dont see in classroom spaces. This is because we will continue to hone our research skills as we observe E-sites on the internet. You should be clear about how the learning happened in this place by connecting it to our course readings (at least 3 citations related to learning and development should be included). Use APA formatting and include a reference page (not included in the length requirement). If it helps to compare and contrast your learning experience to a more formal learning setting (i.e., the classroom), you can do this, but be careful! The comparative analysis may limit what you are able to say about the uncommon practices of a unique learning environment.
