4. What text evidence addresses O'Connell's claim that minorities are disproportionately underserved by
the low difficulty level of their academic coursework? Is the evidence objective and valid or subjective
and unconvincing? Explain.
Raising the bar in High schools

The evidence O'Connell shows is that few black and Latino students take the required coursework for college acceptance. The evidence is objective and valid.

O'Connell says students fail to meet the demands of colleges and the job market because of insufficient education. He says these flaws are even more troubling in Latino and African-American students.

To prove this, he shows evidence that half of the students who go to college take a preparatory course required at admission. This number is even lower in black and Latino students.

I learned to swim when I was six years old. My mother took me to the local pool and left me there for an hour every week. At first, I was worried that I would not pass the class. I knew I would be embarrassed if I had to take it again the next summer. After a few weeks, though, I stopped worrying and started having fun with the other kids. The instructor let us play for a while every week after our lesson. Before I knew it, I could swim halfway across the pool.

How does Sophocles view leadership? What message might he have for those watching his play in Ancient Greece based on the monologues in Scene 3 and the prophecy delivered to Creon in Scene 5? How do you know? Do you think his message or viewpoint on leaders is still relevant today?

Passage 1
As more and more people choose to read the headlines on the internet or watch news programs on
television, major newspapers are rapidly losing money and some have shut down completely. It is obvious
that traditional journalism is in crisis. But if we have other news sources, why should we care about
newspapers? The answer is that the newspaper is still the primary source for specific local topics: local
politics, schools, crime, neighborhood and community events, local jobs, and so on Newspapers continue
to be a valuable and convenient source of information we might not be able to easily access elsewhere.
Passage 2
We've all heard the claims that the newspaper industry is dying, and it's true that daily circulation has been
dropping. But there's no need to panic. Thanks to the internet, we now have greater access to information
than newspapers ever provided. Why should we wait to read about today's news in tomorrow's papers
when we can go to websites and follow a breaking story as it develops? And why should we pay for delivery
of our local papers when local, national, and giobal news can be found online for free? Someday soon
there won't be any newspapers left--and I doubt we'll even notice

Read the two passages from arguments on water conservation.

Passage 1:

After stricter water-usage restrictions were passed, residents started using less water per month. This shows how legislation can influence citizens’ actions and why more restrictions are needed to further decrease water waste. Government action is the best way to effect lasting environmental change.

Passage 2:

Citizens showed their dedication to water conservation by responding positively to new water restrictions and lowering their water usage. This indicates that no new restrictions need to be put in place. Our residents are concerned about water conservation and will work hard to keep water waste to a minimum.

The authors expand on the evidence to different degrees.
The authors disagree about the validity of the evidence.
