Subject: Dance Education
 

Dance Education is one of the fine arts taught at many schools here in the United States today. It has a way of creating a great learning environment for students and teachers through movement, and the interpretation of movement and, "By offering additional means for teachers to accommodate different learning styles and paces".(Waggon,1999) Technology has had a great impact on society as well. It has been weaved throughout the public schools through the use of computers, televisions, radios, and intercom systems. It transforms the lighting on any given stage to display depth, life and convey the dances message more clearly. Technology has now been weaved into Dance Education. Technology supports fine arts education in K-12 schools in a positive way.

I like your paragraph because it introduces the idea of technology into dance education. Before reading your paragraph I wasn't aware of much of the technology there was available. I also like your quote. My only suggestion for you is to possibly remove or rework the sentence "Technology has had a great impact on society as well" because I don't think it has much relevence to your topic.

Subject: Jasmine's Rough Draft paragraph

The debate over whole language and phonics has gone on for years. Which way is best in teaching people, and particularly children how to read? The education world has been debating and still there are no exact answers. During the 1960's, teachers favored the Phonics approach and within the past twenty years whole language has been more favorable. In more recent year’s instruction specialist have argued that some sort of middle ground should be reached because it would give children the benefits of both. (Cromwell 1997) Will there ever be a common ground met by both literary giants?

Your paragraph is great. It introduces your topic well and gets you audience interested in the paper early. The question that you posed at the end was a great was to catch the attention of the reader to want to know the answer to the same question , and to want to know more background on your topic. The only thing I can suggest is that you provide a slight definition of phonics, and whole language so that people who dont know what it mean can have an idea of what it means when they read that paragraph.
