Examples and Descriptions


Examples and descriptions will be very important parts of my essay. I already know that my paper will contain two big examples, the teachers. The teachers are going to be examples of Elementary and High School Teachers, and the evolution of their roles in a student’s life. The fact that the teachers represent a conceptual idea of what a teacher should be but not a specific individual will make descriptive details a little bit of a challenge. My descriptions will unfortunately lack physical descriptions, and I will be forced to focus more on the descriptions of a specific personality and teaching style. On the other hand, I could focus on creating a specific classroom environment. If I could describe the atmosphere of each teacher’s classroom environment, it will make up for the great descriptive details of the teachers themselves. When reading the requirements to this assignment I could not focus on a specific role for a good teacher, I kept dwelling on two roles. After some thought into the subject I realized this was due to the fact that children and youth require two very different teaching styles. Focusing on both Elementary and High School age children will create a chronological order to my paper, and in turn make a great transitioning point to compare and contrast the two teaching styles. This also helps me to create a good thesis, because although I have thought about my thesis the bulk of my focus has been on the teachers themselves.
