family, personal experience). Think about your education in light of reading John

experiences, & (4) mis-educative experiences. Thereafter, write a 3-5 page
essay reflecting your understanding of how Dewey addresses the previously
mentioned
concepts and integrate these ideas into a narrative explaining:
-What has shaped your education?
-How have you learned about the environment?
