ONLY ONE SOURCE PER PAGE. • Pages must be written neatly without any scratch outs anywhere on the page. Pages with “Super Job” or “Please Correct” stamps MUST be presented. (If you MUST re-write a page, the stamped page must be in the pocket of the folder.) • ALL INFORMATION IN BODY PARAGRAPHS 1, 2 & 3 MUST COME FROM YOUR NOTES PAGES. IF IT’S NOT ON A NOTES PAGE, IT CANNOT BE IN YOUR PAPER. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN FIVE FULL PAGES OF NOTES...YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION.

  3. Write/Type the Bibliographic entries EXACTLY according to the examples (every period, comma, quotation mark, etc. COUNTS)

  4. Essay Requirements: 800-1000 words (word count must be in the bottom left corner at the end of the paper) Use 3rd person (he, she, it, they) ONLYwhen writing Introductionthrough Body Paragraph 4. DO NOT USE 2ND PERSON (YOU) AT ALL IN YOUR ESSAY!!!!!!

  5. INTRODUCTION(3 sentences) • Introduce the career you chose with GENERAL information. • Next, write a TRANSITION sentence that leads into your Thesis Statement. • The fill-in-the-blank THESIS STATEMENT below should be the LAST SENTENCE OF YOUR INTRO PARAGRAPH: Being a _____________________ offers many opportunities for interested people based on education, training, and job requirements; however there are also disadvantages that come with this career.

  6. RESEARCH BODY PARAGRAPHS 1, 2, & 3 Body Paragraph 1: Career description and background • history of career • basic information • Salary • benefits Buody Paragraph 2: Education and training requirements • Education level • College majors • Certifications • Internships, etc. Body Paragraph 3: JOB REQUIREMENTS • What is needed to be successful at your job? • Approximately what are the hours you would work • what type of work would you be doing? • Does it offer room for advancement? • How many people are in competition for this job? • Does it offer bonuses or rewards? • Will you work for someone, or will you be self-employed? • What are the responsibilities? Do you wear a uniform, etc.? • Are there tools or equipment required? If so, what are they? • What type of experience do you need? • Are computer skills required?

  7. Body Paragraph 4: CAREER EVALUATION(STAY IN 3RD PERSON) Evaluate your researched information and address your thesis statement. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages. In other words, what are the pros and cons of your career choice? • Why is this career a good choice for you? • Does it offer the salary and benefits you desire? • Do you like its location? • What is the size of the company or number of people with the same type of job? • Do other members of your family or do any of your friends or family have this occupation? • What are the drawbacks of this career?

  8. Reflection: You may use 1st person (I, me) when writing your reflection. Reflect back on your research experience and answer the following questions in your response. • What was the research process like for you? • What was the approach you took when gathering your information and conducting your research? • What did you learn from the research process? • How did your perception (view) of the career change as you researched it and is it something you still plan on pursuing now that you have researched it? Explain.

  9. You must also include the following in your final essay: • Internal citations – EACH TIME INFORMATION IS USED FROM YOUR NOTES PAGES. • Works Cited page at the end of the essay that shows only the sources that you cited in your essay • Pattern sentences listed below: MUST BE HIGHLIGHTED and LABELED in essay, or they will not be counted. • 1 (any variation) • 3 • 4 (any variation) • 5 • 6 • 7 (any variation) • 8 • 9

  10. INTERNALCITATIONS You can...but ALL INFORMATION MUST BE CITED WHETHER YOU paraphrase it, put it your own words, or use direct quotes. • Place internal citations in your essay as you write; DO NOT wait until the essay is finished—it will be MUCH HARDER to look up the information later. You MUST use a new internal citation: • When you change sources • When you have a direct quote • When you change paragraphs • When you change page numbers of the same source. • AN INTERNAL CITATION IS THE FIRST WORD OF THE BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AT THE TOP OF YOUR NOTES PAGE (WRITTEN AS IS – UNDERLINED, IN QUOTES, ETC) AND THE PAGE/PARAGRAPH # (Jones 24). • It is placed INSIDE PARENTHESIS at the end of the sentence/paragraph containing the information. The period goes outside the parenthesis at the end of the sentence (“Dentistry” 25).

  11. What It Takes to Become a Teacher Becoming a teacher requires a degree with an academic major and completion of a teacher education program. “Sixty-nine colleges and universities in Texas offer teacher education programs for undergraduate students” (Barry 23). Most of these colleges and universities as well as several Regional Education Service Centers and a few school districts also offer teacher certification programs for people who already have a degree (Barry 40). After deciding to be a teacher, a first important step is to decide what age group of children to teach. In Texas, four different certification levels are available. Teachers of students in grades early childhood to fourth are usually “responsible for all children and all subjects” (“Teachers” 67). The two certificates available at this level are the Generalist and the Bilingual Generalist (Goldberg 120). “At Texas State, the degree used to obtain this certificate is the Bachelor of Science degree with a Major in Interdisciplinary Studies” (Goldberg 121). Teachers of students in grades sixth through eighth, usually called middle schools or junior high schools, may choose to be “broadly educated in order to teach self-contained classes at the lower grades in the range, or they may elect to specialize in one or two teaching areas” (U.S. Department of Labor. “Teachers” p 4). The certificates available at this level are: Generalist, English Language Arts/Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, and Mathematics/Science (U.S. Department of Labor. Occupational p 2). As with the EC-4 certificate, the degree used to obtain one of these certificates is the Bachelor of Science degree with a Major in Interdisciplinary Studies (KuderEducation).
