Ethics Paper
Purpose of the assignment:
For this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of the Traditional, Progressive, and Critical curriculum traditions. Your task is to produce a resource that could be used by others to learn about these educational traditions. This could take the form of a paper, a podcast submitted with a transcription that I can read (I will also listen to the podcast itself), a Ted-Talk style talk submitted with a transcription that I can read (I will also watch the video), or another form of your suggestion. If you write a paper it can be a traditional academic style paper, or it can be written in a format more like what would be found in a newspaper or magazine such as The New Yorker. In all cases the length should be 5-6 pages submitted using the formatting requirements described above. If you wish to create a presentation (slides or powerpoint) you will be required to include a video or audio recording of yourself giving the presentation or be willing to present during class. A 18-25 slide presentation would be appropriate.
Imagine your audience, listener or reader to be a member of society who has not heard about these traditions before. What do they need to know? Why should they care? How is this information useful or relevant to them?
