InstructionYour paper should should be 4-7 pages (excluding the reference page) include: 1. A discussion of key ideas from at least THREE (3) of the assigned readings (attached) for the topic and at least THREE (3) additional related professional articles (attached) from your own research (your goal will be to make connections between the articles, which may include common and contrasting ideas) 2. A discussion of how the readings have impacted your own thinking about gender and teaching and curriculum 3. An evaluation of your own acquisition of the knowledge and skills for the topic 4. A reference page. THIS IS A RESEARCH ESSAY -- it is strongly suggested that you choose a theme/issue/motif that you see represented in the academic literature (#1 above) to discuss and then connect it to your own practice (#2 & 3 above). Each paper should be replete with supporting scholarly citations and follow APA style for citations, reference list, and manuscript form (typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, and 12 pt. font). Either APA 6th or 7th edition is fine -- be consistent in use of one or the other.
