Your argument *must* be focused on the writing techniques and structure of each opening (not on which subject you find most interesting). en-us 2023-03-28 22:48:21 UTC 2025-08-18 04:25:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536928151 I think that intro 2 is the most compelling because it uses strong words to get its point across and exaggerate the issue of fast food causing poor nutrition ]]> 2023-03-29 15:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536928151 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536930528 I like intro 2 because of how quickly it can get the audience to worry about a problem. It also uses dramatic comparisons to strengthen his argument, such as Childhood obesity as an epidemic.]]> 2023-03-29 15:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536930528 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536932709 I find intro 1 better because of how it was quickly able to get to the point. I wasn't bored when I began reading and while the vocabulary was big, you didn't get lost reading. You understood it all and it made sense. ]]> 2023-03-29 15:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536932709 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536934013 I find intro 2 the most compelling because of the language they used to make the topic they've chose, an important problem that needs looking into.]]> 2023-03-29 15:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536934013 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536934214 I like the second intro the most because it really draws you in and engages you. The writer uses compelling words such as "epidemic" and "daunting" which pulls you in and gets you excited to read it.]]> 2023-03-29 15:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536934214 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536935975 I would say intro 2 because it goes straight to the point and addresses the issue so that it can call the readers attention immediately ]]> 2023-03-29 15:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536935975 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536936623 I feel that intro 2 is the most engaging just based on the wording they use, that allows for readers to quickly become engaged in the arguement. " A fast food craze has swept over the country" this made me want to know more.]]> 2023-03-29 15:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536936623 10989110 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536937545 I like #2 the best because I feel as though it clearly explains what the person is writing about. The first sentence is a statement that directly tells you what their argument is. It hooks you in with the assertiveness.]]> 2023-03-29 15:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536937545 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536938059 Intro 2 was the most interesting to me because the language is descriptive and draws me in. The way it is phrased fast paced and exciting.]]> 2023-03-29 15:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536938059 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536940171 I like 2 because it's interesting and I feel like reading it.]]> 2023-03-29 15:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536940171 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536940926 I think intro 2 is better because it caught my attention fast and it showed some data from their topic.]]> 2023-03-29 15:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536940926 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536943912 I like intro 1 the most. It instantly gets to the point and states fact and time referencing. It feels like this person knows what they are talking about right of the bat. 2 and 3 seem more opinionated or not as knowledgeable. Or like they aren't really sure how to start they're essay.]]> 2023-03-29 15:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536943912 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536993374 I think that intro 2 is compelling because it gets the point across and the choice of words used keep you wanting to know more and get drawn in.]]> 2023-03-29 16:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2536993374 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2539314148 I think intro 2 is the most compelling because intro 1 includes counterclaims such as "Although it is used to improve college readiness, and measure achievement, progress, and growth..." which draws me away from the authors point. Intro 2 gets straight to the claim without extra information that should've been introduced later. The quickness of a claim made me interested because I knew the authors point immediately. ]]> 2023-03-31 03:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2539314148 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2539993958 i think intro 2 was the best because it was the most interesting and got to the point the fastest. I feel like this intro also got to the point the fastest and had a strong opinionated argument. this intro caught my attention the fastest out of all of them]]> 2023-03-31 14:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/3c1hfomi4y9mfmmo/wish/2539993958
