Final Project
As evidence of mastery of English and Education content, students seeking the M.A.T with an English Education emphasis will be required to produce a scholarly essay of a minimum of 25 pages that incorporates content from the two foci of the program. In addition, students will be required to append a brief yet complete unit plan of a minimum of five lessons that exhibits the content of the essay as a topic for classroom practice.
There will be no formal presentation of this project, and students do not need to assemble an advisory committee. However, students are encouraged to work with the appropriate faculty in English and Education as they revise and develop further their original essay. Students will be required to submit a prospectus to Drs. Joseph Chaves and Jeri Kraver on completion of their course work and in anticipation of the submission of their project. Drs. Chaves and Kraver will evaluate the final project.
