Twelfth Night Flop This is a draft of a student's narrative essay. I can remember the flop so clearly. I was already intimidated by the assignment, and then I wandered off script which didn't ease the burden of an already difficult task. Shakespeare said, "Where words are scarce, they are seldom spent in vain," and yet, there I was, bumbling through my one-minute explanation of why Tweflth Night is Shakespeare's best play, abandoning the concise explanation I'd rehearsed in exchange for what? A less poignant opener, for sure. You know what I should have done? I should have recreated a comedic moment with the class, inviting them to experience a moment I had loved as an audience member. Instead, I told them about the performance in a convoluted way after asking what prized possession they would grab if their house was on fire. I didn't even get to finish. When the time-keeper, Kenya, said time was up, I was astonished. My voice shrank and my eyes burned with tears that I hoped others would not notice as I returned to my seat. It didn't help that Jerome presented next and went overtime, but Kenya couldn't say for how long, since she was so riveted by his talk. 4 Select the correct answer. What choice best explains a narrative technique the writer uses and its effect on the reader? A. The writer's present-tense narration immerses the reader in the moment. B.

Which phrase best states the author's opinion on assisting children's development?
adapted excerpt from "Some Rights of Children as Persons" in School Education
by Charlotte Mason
A very interesting and instructive educational experiment on these lines has lately been tried in Hackney, where Mr. Sargent got together some
eighty boys and girls under the conditions of an ordinary elementary school.
The results seem to have been purely delightful; the children
developed an amazing capacity for drawing, perhaps because so soon as they were familiar with the outlines of the flower and foliage of a given
plant, for example, they were encouraged to form designs with these elements. The really beautiful floral designs produced by these girls and
boys, after quite : short art training, would surprise parents whose children have been taught drawing for years with no evident result. These
children developed themselves a great deal on their school magazine also, for which they wrote tales and poems, and essays, not prescribed
work, but self-chosen. The children's thought was stimulated, and they felt they had it in them to say much about a doll's ball, Peter, the school
cat, or whatever other subject struck their fancy. They felt their feet* as the nurses say of children when they begin to walk; and our
non-success in education is a good deal due to the fact that we carry children through their school work and do not let them feel their feet.

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 whose personal information is not properly protected only have themselves to blame.

What is the counterclaim in this paragraph?

Personal information should only be shared with trusted organizations.
It is important to be cautious when supplying personal information online.
The Internet both invades and compromises an individual’s right to privacy.
It is each individual’s responsibility to protect one’s private information.
