Okay Essay writing shmoop er's were over halfway in this

00:05

section you know let's do a little dance Theo author

00:07

is considering adding the following sentence to the end of

00:11

paragraph four should the sentence be added to your sentence

00:15

and that is one reason why i believe education No

00:19

he clearly needs more Is the civil rights issue of

00:24

our generation and why arts education remains so critical to

00:28

leveling the playing field of opportunity Let's find the fourth

00:33

paragraph One two three four here we go Right it's

00:36

right there So would we add that at the end

00:38

there for see little six there they kind of give

00:40

you a ticket for privileged elite children from disadvantaged backgrounds

00:44

for english language learners or instant with disabilities often do

00:46

not get the enrichment of affluence anywhere except at school

00:49

And then do we add this sentence here This and

00:51

that is one reason why well without this additional sentence

00:55

paragraph for really does float awkwardly in the middle of

00:58

the essay Sure the fact that many children get opportunities

01:01

at school that they wouldn't have at home is a

01:03

relevant detail that why included adding this sentence explains that

01:07

this is a big reason the writer supports arts education

01:11

why he's advocating for it in the first place and

01:14

it kind of anchors the perfected he has is like

01:16

seeing it through the lenses of those who don't have

01:19

and which they did alright what of the wrong answers

01:22

Let's Just go through that so we could do the

01:24

superior dance The overall theme of the s a is

01:26

that a well rounded curriculum that includes the arts is

01:28

important it's important So all students have the same opportunities

01:31

for success Well maybe maybe do we really believe that

01:34

therefore this sentence elaborate ce on the theme of the

01:37

essay at least the essay believe that rather than you

01:40

know distract from so get rid of a there in

01:42

the next paragraph the author will use eye or be

01:46

there again So it's actually helpful to be used into

01:48

that personal recollection with the appearance of eye in this

01:52

paragraph though the sentence calls arts education a civil rights

01:55

issue Well it doesn't explain why it's a civil rights

01:58

issue just kind of comes out of nowhere So yeah

01:59

all those air out it's not a b or c

02:02

see it's d because it reinforces the reason the author

02:05

thinks the topic of his essay is important So that's 00:02:09.598 --> [endTime] it Go ahead you
