Summary of Qualifications on resume for a entry-level teaching position?

We Answered:

Believe it or not, your resume will stand out if it's neat and has no errors. Be extra careful about proofreading. Prospective teachers' application materials are often sloppy and filled with mistakes. I'm a former teacher; at one interview, the administrator remarked on my "beautiful letter." Believe me, it was a standard letter -- but I had paid attention to details.

It's hard to do a distinctive resume when you have no experience. Instead of just listing your education, highlight the types of courses that have contributed to your qualifications -- both in education and in your academic field.

If your grade point average was good, state what it was.

Did you win any honors in college? Did you engage in any relevant activities outside your course work? Did you do any tutoring?

If you are qualified to lead any extracurricular activities, create a section in which you name ones you would be willing to lead.

Your cover letter should also be perfect in grammar, spelling, and format. And make an effort not to let it sound like a total form letter, even if you just mention the name of the school or school district in the first sentence.

Danielle Said:

what is the summary of Malcolm X's speech "Ballot or the Bullet"?

We Answered:

How Blacks should fight for civil-rights in America. He emphasizes the importance of voting as a solution to ending discrimination against Blacks. He addresses both the poor voting decisions and also the denial of legitimate voting rights to Blacks. Because elections had been so narrowly decided in recent elections, the Black vote is the deciding factor in elections. When candidates promise to pass favorable legislation, Blacks must hold them accountable in elections. Whites also have prevented Blacks in the electoral process. In the North, white politicians have gerrymandered the voting lines when Blacks are a majority in a voting district to prevent Blacks from being elected. In the South, Blacks are outright denied voting privileges. Malcolm X says that either "the ballot or the bullet" will come next in the civil rights struggle. This means that government must allow Blacks to legitimately vote or else violence will be their means to influence government. A second solution to the civil rights struggle is to change the discrimination of Blacks from a civil rights issue to a human rights issue. This would allow Blacks to take their case to the United Nations. The UN has a committee which deals with human rights and Blacks could also address the general assembly. Currently dealing with discrimination as a civil rights issue makes it an American problem which America should solve. By changing this to a human rights issue, the world can support the advancement of Blacks in America instead of change having to come domestically.
Malcom Xs argues for these solutions from a Black Nationalist prospective. Black Nationalism, also known as black separatism, is a political and social movement which seeks to acquire economic power and create a sense of community among Blacks. Black Nationalism is anti-assimilation, meaning that it is not their goal to fully integrate into white American society; Blacks should own their own businesses and have their own politicians in their communities. I feel that in this speech Malcolm X advocates liberal ideas. Because government is a contract with the people and the purpose of government is to secure everyones individual rights, people have the right to rebel if the government violates the contract.

Is that of any help or is it still too long?

Or in a nutshell

"Since Blacks were denied their civil liberties, either the ballot or the bullet is next. Blacks will either get their rights or they will rebel against government."

Good luck

Can someone tell me a summary(bullet points) of macbeth, not shakespeares version the other one!! thanks?

We Answered:

The "original" of MacBeth was a Scottish King, ruled the north west part of Scotland. He was eventually beaten by the English King (Richard II?) and swore fealty for a while.
There is no other play/fable/story than Shakespeare's, and the historical pieces in Hume et al, that I know of.
What are you talking about?
