A high level of academic literacy is expected by my tutor and an EXTENSIVE amount of intext referencing is required. Introduction must have have a thesis statment the statement has to either outline facts or you could have a thesis statement which outlines the value of the pedagogies. Also in the introduction you must define pedagogy and maybe have the influence in the classroom.

It is important that the essay outlines the essence of each pedagogy and the key players.
