Fоr yоur finаl exаminаtiоn, you should write a cohesive, well-developed essay that fully addresses the essay prompt. Please closely read the following CQ Researcher articles (published April 10, 2015 (volume 25, issue 14)) and then the prompt below. "Teaching Critical Thinking-Does Common Core Help Students Learn Critical Thinking: Pro"by Karen Vogelsang, 2014-15 Tennessee Teacher of the Year "Teaching Critical Thinking-Does Common Core Help Students Learn Critical Thinking: Con"by Paul Thomas, Associate Professor of English Education at Furman University par. 1Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.” For our students to be prepared for the workforce of the future, the ability to solve problems and think critically is imperative. par. 2The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) consist of rigorous academic standards in reading and math that students have to master at each grade level. In fourth grade, a Common Core reading standard requires students to integrate information from two texts in order to write or speak knowledgeably about a topic. In mathematics, fourth-grade students are expected to solve multistep word problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. par. 3Business leaders want employees who can do more than plug numbers into an algorithm. Critical thinking and problem-solving are vital skills for a rapidly changing workforce. Common Core can help students develop the critical-thinking, problem-solving and analytical skills needed for success. par. 4Before the adoption of CCSS, my instruction was based on an extensive list of narrow performance indicators. In English language arts, for example, students identified sentence types by recognizing appropriate end punctuation marks. In math, students identified the place value of a specified digit. These indicators simply required students to recall information. Students didn't develop a true understanding of the overarching concepts each indicator was related to. I was the sage on the stage, and instruction revolved around me! par. 5Today, my classroom is student-centered, and I'm using CCSS to guide my instruction, which is focused on developing students' abilities to read critically and enabling them to compare those two texts. They are listening, sharing and synthesizing information to aid in the development of critical-thinking skills so they can speak knowledgeably. In math, they are learning multiple pathways for problem-solving using the four arithmetic operations, and they are justifying and explaining their answers. These are life skills, not just an algorithm or a list of rules or facts to memorize and forget. They are deeply engaged in their work and understanding new content in ways that develop these integral skills. par. 6Regardless of which path a student chooses, educators across the country now have a common language with Common Core, and we can use these standards to develop critical-thinking, problem-solving and analytical skills—life skills that students need to be successful in whatever path they choose. par. 1Proponents of Common Core and national standardized tests often claim it is the first and most demanding effort of its kind. However, the Common Core movement sits in a long line of standards initiatives reaching back to the Committee of 10 in the 1890s, formed to create more challenging high school courses to prepare students for college. Charles Eliot, then-president of Harvard, chaired that panel of college presidents, professors and public and private school leaders. par. 2The past 30 years of state-based accountability, based on several versions of standards and high-stakes tests—each claiming higher expectations than the last—reveal that standards linked to such tests often ask less of students, not more. In fact, no clear correlation exists between the quality or presence of standards and measurable student outcomes such as test scores. Some states with so-called high standards have low scores, while some states with weak standards have high scores. par. 3Accountability and standards intended to drive higher expectations of students—expectations labeled today as “critical thinking” or “higher-order thinking skills”—always come down to this: What is tested is what is taught. Because all states implementing Common Core have also adopted high-stakes testing, students will not be asked to think critically. They will be prepared to take tests. par. 4In the context of standardized testing, higher-order thinking skills are not critical but are discrete skills that lend themselves to efficient teaching and testing formats. True critical thinking involves investigating a text—moving beyond decoding and comprehension to challenging claims and agendas and examining historical influences. Thus, it is difficult to test in multiple-choice formats. par. 5The Common Core English/Language Arts (ELA) standards, for example, reduce critical thinking to “close reading,” a rebranding of traditional approaches that require students to remain focused on the text only. It is what many of us did in English classes when we analyzed poems for technical elements such as rhyme and meter or figurative language. par. 6But true critical reading and thinking cannot be bound to the text only. The writer's biography, the text's historical setting and its impact on readers all bear on the larger questions of power: Who is making the claims in this text and why? Ironically, a critical reading of Common Core standards exposes a commitment to more of the same failed approach that masks yet more test prep as critical thinking. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Teaching Critical Thinking-Does Common Core Help Students Learn Critical Thinking: Pro” and "Teaching Critical Thinking-Does Common Core Help Students Learn Critical Thinking: Con,” as reference sources, write an essay in which you analyze each author’s use of one rhetorical tool or rhetorical appeal to achieve his or her specific purpose.

Sugаr is brоken dоwn by which оf the following?
Fоr yоur finаl exаminаtiоn, you should write a cohesive, well-developed essay that fully addresses the essay prompt. Please closely read the following CQ Researcher articles (published April 11, 2014 (volume 24, issue 14)) and then the prompt below. "Future of TV-Is the Price for Watching Cable TV Unfairly High: Pro"by Derek Turner, Research Director for Free Press "Future of TV-Is the Price for Watching Cable TV Unfairly High: Con"by Berin Szoka, President of TechFreedom par. 1Add skyrocketing cable bills to the list of life's inevitabilities. Since 1996, cable bills have increased at nearly three times the rate of inflation. The price of expanded basic cable service soared 30 percent from 2007 to 2012. The cable industry claims these rate hikes reflect the free market. Don't believe that for a second. par. 2Markets aren't free when consumers can't express their preferences. Markets aren't free when there are insurmountable barriers to entry. And markets aren't free when contracts are used to restrain trade. These are all failures of the pay-TV market. There isn't enough competition to discipline the power enjoyed by either the large programmers that own the channels or the pay-TV distributors that sell them to consumers. These two groups raise prices without any risk of losing profits. Both use contractual obligations to build artificial entry barriers for new players and to limit free trade. par. 3Consumers can either buy a bunch of channels they don't want in order to get the few they do—or cut the cord. Because the price for each channel is hidden, supply and demand can't work its magic. Indeed, hidden prices are why costs have escalated. They encourage questionable business decisions that consumers would reject in a free market—like ESPN doubling the annual licensing fees it pays to Major League Baseball to $700 million. par. 4So how can we make the pay-TV market an actual free market? We start by putting the consumer in the driver's seat. Last May, Sen. John McCain, introduced a bill that would give consumers a flexible a la carte option when purchasing cable packages. Antitrust authorities also should examine “wholesale bundling,” where programmers force distributors to pay for unpopular channels to access the popular ones. par. 5But the long-term answer is one Congress already has adopted. The basic idea behind the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was to create a robust and open broadband market that could enable competition in other services, including “over-the-top” pay-TV, where video streams over the Internet. par. 6The good news is that this blueprint for competition is the law. The bad news is the FCC abandoned it when it decided to not apply the law to cable and telephone company Internet providers. Policymakers must understand this. We solved this problem already. The law is written. We just need to implement it. par. 1We live in a “golden age” of television. We love TV, and it's getting better all the time—but we hate paying for it, even when we're getting a better deal. Since 1996, the cable industry has invested $210 billion in infrastructure. That's meant faster broadband, higher video quality and new TV features such as DVRs. Adjusting for inflation, basic cable prices rose 2.7 percent annually from 2005 to 2012. par. 2But adjusting for quality is hard, so consider how much cable companies paid programmers during that period: 5.61 percent more annually. Indeed, programming costs, which have more than doubled since 1992, represented 56 percent of cable bills in 2012—and are rising, largely due to the cost of sports programming. par. 3Cable has become just another distribution channel, watched by fewer than half of American households. Viewers have switched to satellite (a third), telephone company services such as Verizon FiOS (15 percent) or entirely to online services such as Netflix and iTunes (5 percent). par. 4Studios are also investing in quality because they face unprecedented competition. The number of channels has exploded, from 565 in 2006 to more than 800 today. Some of today's most popular programming comes from once-stale channels such as AMC (e.g., “Breaking Bad” and “Mad Men”). And new entrants such as Netflix now offer popular original content. par. 5Understandably, people hate paying for channels they don't want. Yet economists have found that mandating a la carte pricing would raise prices per channel, perhaps costing consumers more overall while hurting new and smaller channels. Meanwhile, the availability online of individual episodes is pressuring video programmers to change how they do business. There's no reason to think the market won't find the right balance — without more government meddling. par. 6More broadband competition could help make Internet television viable. That means lowering local barriers that make it hard for companies such as Verizon and Google Fiber to compete with cable. But at the end of the day, no matter how it's delivered, quality television costs money. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Future of TV-Is the Price for Watching Cable TV Unfairly High: Pro” and "Future of TV-Is the Price for Watching Cable TV Unfairly High: Con,” as reference sources, write an essay in which you analyze each author’s use of one rhetorical tool or rhetorical appeal to achieve his or her specific purpose.
