Each source of educational literature must represent
a different type of knowledge, as listed below (i.e. at
least two types of knowledge should be represented):

• Theoretical knowledge
• Research knowledge
• Practice knowledge
• Policy knowledge
Prompt questions: When developing your assignment
consider the following:
Why did you select this article?
What type of knowledge is this?
What do you think the author is trying to achieve
through their writing and how successful do you think
they are?
Drawing on your educational experience and wider
reading, in what ways do you agree and disagree with
the claims the author makes?
What are the views of other authors in the field?
With reference to Toulmin’s Model of Argument,
critically consider the evidence that the author draws
on. Is this evidence and the way it is used persuasive
to the reader?
See Assignment One Marksheet for full details of the
assessment criteria, which you should read carefully
when planning and developing your assignment.
Word limit: 1800-3300 words
