Content/Performance:
Write a paragraph to express opinions about whether robots will replace teachers at
schools.
Outcome/Performance Products:
Have a paragraph to express opinions about whether robots will replace teachers at
schools.

Suggested writing:
I disagree that robots will soon replace teachers at school. First, although robots can
store much information to provide to students, they cannot teach students how to behave
in the right ways in different situations. Second, a robot can only teach what is
programmed, but cannot help students deal with problems, especially troubles among
students' relationships. Third, a robot can speak, walk, do simple actions, but they cannot
interact with students in the way human teachers do. Robots do not have emotions and
feelings, so I believe they cannot help students to deal with problems related to feelings
and emotions.

notes in 4.
