Blog Post 2: What Are People Saying?
PART I
Locate and analyze two credible and relevant sources that help move you forward on your research question. If possible, at least two of these sources should be opinion-based, meaning the source’s author should be arguing an opinion relevant to your question (versus just reporting relevant background and facts.)
Open your blog post with a section that:
- lists each source’s complete bibliographic information using a format of your choice (MLA, APA, or other),
- summarizes each source in a maximum 250 words each,
- evaluates the credibility of the sources,
- discusses in detail how the sources inform your perspective on the main research question you are exploring.
Also, make sure you are searching in the databases provided by the FIU library if appropriate to your question.https://library.fiu.edu/

Chapter 26 focuses on composing Annotated Bibliographies, though we are doing the same through a more informal blog post (and will continue this in your next post.)
The example in Everyone's an Author's Chapter 26, page 532, titled “An Evaluative Annotated Bibliography” is a good example of what is expected in this blog post and the next, though don’t be afraid to be a little more informal in tone.
“Do High Schools Prepare Students for Careers?” XQ Reports, 17 July 2023, xqsuperschool.org/reports/do-high-schools-prepare-students-for-careers/#:~:text=By%20connecting%20students%20with%20outside,ll%20need%20to%20be%20successful.
ReplyDeleteThis article is talking about if high school get high schoolers ready for the real world/ college. For most of American the answer is no. Which part of me understands like many Americans in high school they didn’t get you ready for the real world. Most Americans with a high school diploma have no clue how to do there taxes or investing or other thing that can help people be successful. Instead high school pushes subjects that honestly people have no interest in. As well as in high school they don’t use real life job situations for the most part jobs are collaborative work. Most high schools suggest/enforce working on your own even thought it helps you find answer by your self most jobs are done in teams or through collaboration.

This article is student sthat speak up on how high schools suggest and schools in general can get ahead of the career path. I agree with one student in particular. This student talks about how schools should look at what children are interim at a young age and taylor their educational career accordingly. Personally I agree. I think at a young age you can pick a center of top you want most of your classes for. I would even go as far as saying allowing children to switch the type of classes they get every year so they can figure out what they like while having a choice. So for example 1 year you take business inspired classes in 5 grade and 6th grade you take lawyer inspired classes then 7th grade you can take doctor focused class so you can have a small taste of what you want to do in the future. I think this would work great in many schools and children would actually want to learn because they are choosing what they want to learn.
