ESSAY ASSIGNMENT
The learning objectives of this assignment are to:
– link a real-life observation related to syntax to relevant literature
– Must be able to research appropriate studies that relate to your observation
– Must be able in APA style guide.
Section 1 – Description of a recent real-life observation that pertains to syntax in some way.
Section 1: Observation. The first page of your paper (approximately 250 – 300 words) should describe an experience you had since the beginning of the semester, during which you observed something that had to do with syntax. Here are some examples:
You might have a conversation with someone who speaks a language other than English. You could discuss differences in syntax between that language and English, or discuss how some syntactical forms are harder to learn in English because it is different.
You might observe a syntactic difference or even disorder if you are doing any clinic observations. This would be an appropriate observation to use as a starting point for your paper. Remember, however, to apply relevant policies of confidentiality in all of your communication. (If you are doing observations, you will know what this policy is.)

You might be having a conversation and notice one or more syntactic “errors” or differences that occur in natural conversation. This could be something you said or something someone else said.
