Build an Argument With Evidence and Counterclaims

A Quiet Study Hour

Invented practice data or scenario; not a report of a real study.

Document A — Student proposal: Our school should try a quiet study hour twice a week. In a fictional survey of 30 volunteers, 22 said they wanted a place to work after class. The proposal says a staffed room could help these students begin assignments before going home. It suggests a six-week trial rather than a permanent change.

Document B — Office note: The room is available on Tuesday and Thursday, when a late bus already runs. Staffing still needs approval, and students who do not use that bus may have other transport needs. The survey did not ask how often respondents would attend. A trial should record actual attendance, staffing time and feedback from both users and nonusers before the school decides whether to continue.

Analyze Figurative Language

Before the Speech

The hallway was a river of voices. Students drifted past Mina, trading jokes and reminders, while she stood near the classroom door. She held the pages of her speech like a small shield. Every time someone laughed, she checked the first line again.

Inside, the teacher cleared a space at the front. Mina walked to it. A chair scraped, then the river quieted. The first sentence felt like a bridge laid over a gap. She looked up long enough to see Jo nod. The next sentence came more slowly, but she no longer hid her face behind the pages.

Compare Options in English

Club Options

Invented practice data or scenario; not a report of a real study.

Both clubs meet on Tuesday. Art lasts 60 minutes and needs a sketchbook. Music lasts 45 minutes; no supply is listed. A student has only 50 minutes available. No information about fees or difficulty is provided.

Worked example: If one trip takes 20 minutes and another 35, the second is 15 minutes longer. A shorter trip may fit a time limit; that comparison alone does not show it is cheaper, easier or better for everyone. Use the material to work through each task. Show the requested response.

Compare a Data Pattern With a Claim

Practice time and completed tasks

Five practice records are invented for analysis. Practice minutes are 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. Completed tasks are 2, 4, 5, 7, 8. No participants were randomly assigned, and task difficulty was not controlled.

Worked example: If two records are (5, 2) and (10, 4), they show a positive direction. Two records alone do not prove a cause or a universal rule. Use the material to work through each task. Show the requested response.

1.How many tasks are recorded at 30 minutes?

Connect Tables Graphs and Linear Rules

A line connects several representations

The table follows one linear rule. For each increase of one in x, y changes by 2. Find the value at x = 0 to identify the intercept.

Worked example: For y = 2x − 3, x increasing by 1 adds 2 to y, and (0, −3) is the intercept point. Use the material to work through each task. Show the requested response.

1.Find the rate of change Δy/Δx.

Linear Systems and Plan Comparison

Two plans, one intersection

Plan A has cost y = 2x + 1. Plan B has cost y = x + 5. Both use dollars and the same nonnegative input x. An intersection must satisfy both rules.

Worked example: y = 2x and y = x + 3 intersect at (3, 6), since both equations give y = 6 when x = 3. Use the material to work through each task. Show the requested response.

Reason With Right Triangle Lengths

Identify the hypotenuse first

For a right triangle, the two perpendicular legs have lengths a and b. The side opposite the marked right angle is the hypotenuse c. Then a² + b² = c². Diagrams are schematic.

Worked example: For legs 8 and 15, c² = 64 + 225 = 289, so c = 17. Use the material to work through each task. Show the requested response.

Literary Reading: Author's Craft, Figurative Language & Tone

The Whispering Gears of Prague

¶1High above the cobblestones of the Old Town Square, the astronomical clock stood like an iron sentinel holding court over the centuries. Inside its towering stone ribcage, hundreds of bronze cogs ground against one another with the dry, rasping breath of an ancient beast. Master Hanuš squinted through the gloom, his trembling fingers guiding a brass gear into alignment.

¶2Every rotation was a calculated heartbeat. The mechanical figures along the parapet—Death clutching an hourglass, Vanity clutching a looking-glass—waited in shadowy anticipation. When the midnight chime finally struck, the bronze bell tolled not with musical joy, but with the cold, heavy finality of an iron gavel, echoing across the silent rooftops of Bohemia.
