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 September 24, 2010 (volume 20, issue 33)) and then the prompt below. "Impact of the Internet-Is the Internet Making Students Smarter: Pro"by Cathleen Norris, Professor of Learning Technologies at the University of North Texas "Impact of the Internet-Is the Internet Making Students Smarter: Con"by Elias Aboujaoude, Psychiatrist and Researcher at Stanford University par. 1The Internet is just a roadway. But with mobile devices in the palms of their hands, all children, rich or poor, can hop onto that roadway to explore their ideas, collaborate with friends and establish new contacts. For a youth living below the poverty line in Detroit, an Internet-connected smartphone is arguably the most empowering opportunity in that child's life. par. 2Of course, we adults must provide instruction and guidance to help children make the best use of this truly unique opportunity. Although the temptations to squander the opportunity are but a finger-tap away, we are seeing that with proper adult support children can and do make effective use of their Internet-connected smartphones. As a young African-American girl commented to a CNN interviewer in describing her fifth-grade lesson on the Revolutionary War, “Now I can do something interesting with my phone, not just text.” par. 3The Internet naysayers say the Web encourages shallowness in thinking. But, in the context of the level of engagement that an Internet-connected smartphone affords and engenders, the naysayers' comments are mere quibbles. Paper, pencils, textbooks, blackboards—the stuff of America's classrooms—simply do not engage today's “mobile generation.” For better or worse, this generation needs the interactivity and feedback provided by Internet-connected mobile devices. par. 4In classrooms from Singapore to the U.K. to Toms River, N.J., where students use such devices as essential tools for learning for 40 to 70 percent of the school day—plus time on the school bus or in the bleachers at their brother's soccer match—understanding is improving, and so are test scores. “All 150 students in the project did every lick of homework—on time,” says Mike Citta, principal of Hooper Avenue Elementary School in Toms River. par. 5There is no magic in these devices; test scores improve because the students are spending more time on task because they are more engaged in their studies when using curriculum that is based on Internet-connected mobile devices. par. 6There is no going back. Within five years every child in every grade in every school in America will be using mobile learning devices 24/7. And watch the test scores skyrocket! par. 1Much has been said about how digital media are changing the way we write. Not surprisingly, reading is also changing. Eye-tracking experiments suggest that online reading does not progress in a “logical” way but unfolds like a giant-font letter “F” superimposed on the page. Users read in a horizontal movement across the upper part; move toward the bottom and read across in a second horizontal movement; then scan the left side in a quick vertical glance. Online reading seems just as foreign as online writing. par. 2We scan and forage, rather than read, in part because of significant competition from other Web pages. Much of learning starts with a teacher imploring students to “pay attention.” Yet many kids seem unable to focus for longer than it takes to write a status update. par. 3Studies of students suggest a link between attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Internet use. For example, in a study involving 216 college students, 32 percent of Internet “addicts” had ADHD, compared to only 8 percent of normal users. While this does not prove causality, it suggests that our virtual lifestyle may be making us crave Ritalin, the drug used to control ADHD. par. 4Another cornerstone of cognition is memory: What good are reading, writing and attentiveness without retention? But more students are asking: Why bother to remember when all information is at our fingertips and when a Gmail account arrives with 7 gigabytes of storage? Memorizing has become a lost art as we have moved from cramming our brains to cramming our hard drives. par. 5Where does this leave us? Because information is power, we feel empowered, but this is deceptive if we are gradually becoming less smart. Our ability to focus is compromised, which is one reason we love Twitter. But Twitter, in turn, further compromises our mental processing power, making us crave even speedier, less complex tools. par. 6This cycle, and this dumbing-down, may prove counter-democratic. While the great equalizing effect of the Internet wipes out differences, instead of enhancing democracy, it may be moving us toward demagoguery. Demagogues' half-truths and propaganda require probing, dissection and debate, but one is too distracted. One just got tweeted. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Impact of the Internet-Is the Internet Making Students Smarter: Pro” and "Impact of the Internet-Is the Internet Making Students Smarter: 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.

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 June 13, 2014 (volume 24, issue 22)) and then the prompt below. "Dropout Rate-Should All States Raise the High School Dropout Age to 18: Pro"by Bob Wise, President of the Alliance for Excellent Education "Dropout Rate-Should All States Raise the High School Dropout Age to 18: Con"by Franklin Schargel, author of 12 education reform books par. 1All states should raise the legal high school dropout age to 18, but not because it will automatically increase graduation rates—it won't. Rather they should do it because of the message it sends students, parents, the public and the state about the critical importance of a high school diploma in today's global economy. par. 2Fifty years ago, high school dropouts could still land well-paying jobs and support their families. But times have changed. Today, jobs that require relatively little education are disappearing. According to research from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, only about 10 percent of jobs are open to high school dropouts, compared with more than 30 percent in 1973. par. 3Still, hundreds of thousands of students continue to drop out of high school every year. But passing a law that forces students to continue going to school must be only a first legislative action, not the final one. In fact, research from the Brookings Institution finds that states with higher compulsory school attendance ages do not have higher graduation rates than states with lower age requirements. Raising the compulsory age does little to address the root causes of why students drop out, which include difficult transitions from middle school to high school, an absence of basic reading and math skills and a lack of engagement. par. 4As states debate whether to increase the compulsory school age, they must also provide the kind of education that engages students and give them a reason to want stay in school. Requiring compulsory attendance also means that state legislators need to plan for the additional classrooms, teachers and other resources needed to serve additional students who are now staying in school. Ensuring that all students have access to effective teachers and rigorous and engaging content is a good place to start—as is additional support, both academic and social—for students who have fallen behind. par. 5Raising the compulsory attendance age can be a powerful motivational tool to express commitment to high school graduation, but only if it's accompanied by supporting policies and resources. While a legislative mandate increasing the compulsory school age can force students to attend school, it can't force them to learn. Provided that policymakers understand this important distinction, raising the dropout age to 18 can be one of the tools in their toolbox to increase high school graduation rates. par. 1If America is to be globally competitive, it must have a high-performing, highly trained, technologically prepared workforce. And that means, at minimum, a high school diploma. I believe all students should stay in school until they graduate. However, that does not mean that all states should require that students remain in school until they are 18. par. 2U.S. education is primarily a state and local responsibility. But President Obama and a number of state legislatures believe that the dropout age should be raised to 18. There is little data to indicate that will reduce dropout rates, according to a report by the Rennie Center for Education Research and Policy. “Our review revealed that there is little research to support the effectiveness of compulsory attendance laws in achieving these goals,” said the report. par. 3Some states that require students to stay in school until age 18 have some of the nation's highest graduation rates (such as Nebraska and Wisconsin, both with 88 percent graduating) and some of the lowest, such as New Mexico (70 percent) and the District of Columbia (59 percent). So it is not the age of mandatory attendance that determines the dropout rate, but other factors. Simply mandating that young people remain in school without addressing the causes for their leaving will accomplish little. par. 4There are five reasons children leave school prior to graduation: (1) The children's bad decisions—getting pregnant, becoming involved in alcohol or drugs, committing crimes; (2) The families they come from—low income, dropouts themselves, a clash of cultures between families and schools, (3) The communities they come from—places where there are gangs, violence, and drugs; (4) The schools they attend, which are toxic to learning; and (5) The teachers they have—we give the least experienced, least trained teachers the most difficult students. par. 5If we wish to eliminate dropouts we need to deal with these causes. By raising the dropout age, we add additional costs, for additional classrooms, teachers, support personnel and alternative online courses. This is foolhardy, especially when so many states have already cut into the marrow of education. Changing the dropout age is a simplistic, sound-bite solution to a complex problem. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Dropout Rate-Should All States Raise the High School Dropout Age to 18: Pro” and "Dropout Rate-Should All States Raise the High School Dropout Age to 18: 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.
