In 5 pages answer the following questions: How Has the Job of Teaching Changed? How Have Teachers Helped Change It?
This is in the context of the US Education system.
A good paper makes a clear argument (your opinion), based on specific evidence. This means, for example, that in answer to the first question, a paper should clearly state your opinion about how teaching has changed and why it has changed. Your point of view must be clear. But so must the evidence on which your point of view rests; “just because I think so” is not sufficient.
It is important to show what the job of teaching used to be like and what it is like now and then explain how teachers have helped it change. I think you can focus the paper around technology and explain how the job of teaching has changed because of technology and teachers need to utilize it. You can show how in the past it was common to use chalkboards and other classroom items but now we use smartboards, computers etc. To show how teachers have helped it change it may be useful to include some statistics on the technological literacy of teachers and what they have done to make changes in the classroom to include technology.
