I would like to write my paper on how learning isn’t confined to just a classroom setting and how informal learning plays a significant role in our daily lives.  My audience would be our class as well as the general public and anyone who has access to this piece. The purpose of my project is to show that there are various ways to learn besides for the traditional classroom setting and that one of those is informal learning. The argument I could make based on experience would be how I have learned a great amount from outside of school and how my parents have both ingrained in me that learning doesn’t start or end in a classroom and that learning can happen anywhere at anytime. The argument I could make is how informal education should be valued more in the U.S rather than looking down upon it and only valuing a formal education. There are many skills and certain jobs that don’t require a formal education but are important to society and should be valued more. I want to research how important formal and informal educations are. I’d also like to research how common core affects the way students learn and process information and how it competes against countries that value multi-modal learning methods.
