4. Sample Student Paper: Based on my conviction that even analytical writing can speak to students once they forge a path towards it, I asked students to interview a family member or person who was 40 years old or older on the arc of their career. Students then used this interview as a “text” which they synthesized with a reading/readings from our coursework. Here, the student analyzes the career arc of her minister, while using the language of writer/activist Parker Palmer to argue that our personal intrinsic gifts lack true value without their application to society.
