1. My website is aimed towards those who have pondered the different methods and approaches to education and how they can shape our children’s lives. Maybe there are teachers, administrators, or superintendents who want to devise a balanced curriculum that deviates from the norm. Or there may be parents who want to know if there are alternative forms of schooling for their children.
2. Almost all the people of this state have some sort of background with regards to traditional education. I would have to include information about vocational and liberal arts schooling.
3. I think that they might be at least interested in the different forms of education. Whether or not they agree is up to them. My main goal here is to encourage a little debate about the merits of traditional learning vs. non-traditional learning.
4. Most of my sources believe that the traditional American education system is inadequate for our children’s needs.
5. I think I may include pictures. The trick here is to make sure it connects with my audience in some way. Does it help convey the message or hinder it? Is it appropriate to the subject matter?
6. Personally, I am inclined to agree that we need to consider revamping our current education system, especially in light of our current situation. But due to my limited intelligence, I thought it would be a good idea to consider any side of the system.

ReplyDeleteOverall, I really like how you're thinking through your unit project. Some notes:
* I'm concerned that giving a broad overview of the educational system seems unmanageable, considering the amount of time you have. Perhaps it would be better to focus on one specific part of the educational system.
* I'm reacting to point six here... I think you're a pretty smart guy, and that it's important for you to share your perspective with others. I'm looking for everyone to make a persuasive argument as part of their unit project, so don't be afraid to put your voice out there!
I hope this helps. Please be in touch with questions or concerns.
