Discuss the value of the three part framework and how you plan to incorporate to enhance comprehension. Use specific examples, related to your discipline, to illustrate your points.
Outline and grading scheme:
Introduction: Introduce three major concepts related to the topic(s) under discussion based on the readings and presentations for the particular week.
Remember in the Introductory paragraph:
Interesting lead-in sentence, introduces three major ideas, thesis statement, smooth transitions/fluent writing
Development paragraphs:
In the next three paragraphs demonstrate your understanding of the content using details, examples and relevant quotes from the readings as supporting details for each major idea or concept. (Note: discuss one major concept per paragraph).
Remember in the Development paragraphs:
Three paragraphs, each explaining one concept or idea cited in the intro with supporting details including examples and one appropriate quote per paragraph from the readings
Conclusion: Present a brief summary of your ideas. Be sure to recap the thesis statement differently. Add one interesting or important point.
Remember in the Concluding paragraph:
Summarize the main points, highlighting the significance and relevance of the concepts/ideas to classroom practice as you recap the thesis statement in different words. Cite a point of interest, implications for teaching, application and/or limitations, if any

Please pay attention to the prompt and the criteria for grading. I believe those two can help you to focus your paper. Having a clear focus will help you to be to the point. You do not want to be too wordy and still not make a point that is contributing to you overall paper. Writing is a difficult skill that requires practice. Plan your writing – make an outline using the guide I provided – and think about the main point you want to make in each paragraph to get across your overall message of the paper.
Specific examples are also useful —–they should that you understand what you are talking about.
