Second, place yourself in the context of those claims. How is higher education moving you towards or away from your future goals?
When it comes time to write, structure your writing as an evidence-based argument that includes the following components:
Describe how higher education fits into your life goals.
Explain how the materials help you understand how this system may or may not get you where you want to go. Remember that linking ideas between materials is the heart of these link paper assignments, so be clear how the materials interact with each other and help support your argument.
