Writing an Argumentative Editorial about
Initiating Change, Comparing Accounts of
Iqbal's Story UPDATED Exam Questions
and CORRECT Answers

Which elements are important to include in the conclusion of an argumentative editorial?
Check all that apply. - Correct Answer- a restatement of the claim
a summary of the rebuttal
a solution, an alternative, or a call to action


Read the sample student claim.


If university education was made free for everyone, I would be thrilled because more people
would go to college and pursue successful careers.


Why is this not an effective claim? Check all that apply. - Correct Answer- It is simply a
personal preference or feeling.
It cannot be supported with logical reasons.


Read the sample student claim and counterclaim.


Claim: Although many people argue that medical testing on animals is a violation of animal
rights, the benefits it yields for society far outweigh any argument that can be made.


Counterclaim: There are safer and more accurate ways to test medications without using
animals.


What evidence would most weaken the counterclaim presented here? - Correct Answer- The
physiologies of humans and some animals are very similar, so the reactions of these creatures
to certain medications are the most reliable guide to the possible reactions of human patients.

,Scientists are more easily able to control an animal's environment, such as diet and
temperature, than they are that of humans, which makes the tests far more reliable than
alternative methods.

With car crashes being the leading cause of death among teenagers, many are in favor of
raising the legal driving age to eighteen. According to the National Highway Safety
Administration, the rate of crashes, both fatal and nonfatal, for sixteen-year-old drivers is
almost ten times the rate as that of drivers aged thirty to fifty-nine, as calculated per mile
driven. No one disputes the idea that raising the legal driving age will create issues and
difficulties for many; however, these issues pale in comparison with the issue of safety. "The
bottom line is that when we look at the research, raising the driving age saves lives," states
Adrian Lund, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a research group
funded by the auto insurance industry. To date, New Jersey is the only state to raise the legal
driving age to seventeen, and various studies have shown that the overall rate of teen -
Correct Answer- The legal driving age should be raised to eighteen for safety reasons.


Read the rough draft of a student's conclusion to an argumentative editorial.


(1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information
would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks,
particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss" and the additional time
wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is
clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is
not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many
still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is
inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools
consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with
traditional nine-month calendars. (7 - Correct Answer- Because students would not need to
spend so much time reviewing previously covered material, they would then have more time
to master new concepts.


Read the sample student claim and counterclaim.


Claim: Although many argue that homework plays a vital role in the educational process, the
negative aspects of homework far surpass the potential benefits.

, Counterclaim: Homework helps students develop valuable skills, such as independent
learning, needed for college and the workplace.


What evidence would most weaken the counterclaim presented here? - Correct Answer- It is
nearly impossible to know if the completed homework actually belongs to the student or has
been copied from another.


Read the sample student paragraph that addresses a counterclaim.


Some claim that the Internet both invades and compromises one's right to privacy. However,
this is ridiculous. The Internet is only as invasive as one allows it to be, particularly since
there are laws to protect people's privacy. Exercising caution when supplying personal
information online is the most vital step in protecting one's privacy. Any information you do
not feel comfortable sharing online should not be shared, and sensitive information should
only be provided to trusted organizations. Additionally, some states have already enacted
privacy laws that model the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, ensuring that information collected
for one purpose may not be used—or sold—for other purposes without first notifying the
individual to whom the data belongs. The first and most important protector of an individual's
information is that individual. People w - Correct Answer- rude.

to be crammed into nine months, and class material could be covered at a more even and
logical pace.
