ECR vs SCR

When am I writing a ECR?

Write a well-organized essay that uses specific
evidence from the text to support your answer.

Remember to —
• clearly state your argument/claim
• organize your writing
• develop your ideas in detail
• use evidence from the selection in your response
• use correct spelling, capitalization, punctuation,
and grammar

2 Types of ECR

Prompts

Informative

Argumentative

●The main difference between
argumentative essays and
informative essays is that
argumentative essays try to
convince the reader to accept you
(the writers) point of view, while
informative essays provide
information and explanations with
facts to the reader.

●The informative essay will provide
facts and explanations, but the
opinion essay includes how those
facts may support you (the writers)
point of view and you may be asked
to make a choice.

I think that Clipper’s changed the United states transportation because they were fast and people couldget places faster and it was fun to race in them. They also brought good economy to the contry because they could ship things faster to place’s and ship the good’s to people and make good profit. The clipper’s also helped people get to California during the gold rush because they were so fast they got people there before other’s could get gold that would have been their’s so they served very usefull to people during that time and hade served a great purpose to people for london because people wanted tea as a high demand and whoever got there first with their tea they could go and sell it and make a profit from it. I belive that if these hadn’t been created that we probably woldne’t have as many cities as we did back then right now so those increased how many people came to the U.S. all those years ago and made it their home.I also think that people would not have taken all the gold that was probaly in California too but that isn’t a problem right now I think that everyone would have demanded tea even more to prices soo high that people wouldn’t have had any homes and there would be no profit for people to get but if the stocks were good people got good prices for tea not high ones that they couldn’t pay and whoever got there first got the profit. These are all the things that I belive are benifits of why these are important to the U.S.

I believe the steamboat was a look into the new age, inventor of the steamboat Robert Fulton was one of the first people to star using technology based machines in the United States. Though it was a clear cut industrial succes the steamboat did cause many other succeses including the elctric car, iphone and many other things we use today.

The clipper was the fastest of its time and in the mid 1800s single handeldy stopped the British from going into debt. The clipper also caused a spike in the amercian economy as well, they transported good to California during the gold rush and also helped move goods acroos the east coast as well.

One fatal flaw that caused the clipper to be stuck in the past is its lack of inovation, the Steamboat could be expanded upon but you cant add 30 more sails to a ship that cant have any more.The Steamboat also caused the much more useful steamships which transported goods all along the world.

The steamboat will always be remembered as pushing us through the boundries of human knowledge and through to the world of technological advancemnets we all desire. The clipper will always be an invention built on by great minds. But what woul you rather, a new and revolutionary idea, or a 1700s invention built on a centruy later.

Steam Boats and Clipper were two very good transportation boats but I think the clipper changed life in the 1800’s more. I think this because it made a lot of rivalry between everyone.Especially when they found gold in California, because it says in paragraph eight that “Thosands of pepole travled to San Francisco to seek there fortunes.” There could have been thousands of pepole going there. So that is why I think that The clipper changed life back then more than the Steam Boats.

There were many ships, railroads, and other kinds of transportation that helped change and modernize the United States more. In that specifically, ships. Now there are many kinds of boats and ships, but I think that the clipper ship changed the United States more. 1. It helped to bring tea to countries in a much faster way. 2. Ships that sail were a lot faster than the ships that use steam.

First of all, the clipper ship helped bring tea to countries in a much faster way. Tea was in a greater demand for an all-time high. So, the clipper ships helped bring those tea in a much faster way and could handle many sails! Some ships had more than thirty sails! The first american clipper ship made the trip to London a month faster than the older ships.

Lastly, Ships that sail were a lot faster than the ships that used steam. Steam ships could not keep up at all with the clipper ships. Early Amrican clipper ships, such as the Rainbow which was built in 1845, quickly set speed records wherever it went! Soon, these ships were racing to see who could reach to London and give the markets the tea first!

In conclusion, I think that clipper ships helped changed the United states more. That’s because it helped to bring tea to countries in a much faster way, and ships that sail were much faster than ships that used steam. So, do your part in honoring the clipper ships and thank it for bringing all these good changes to our country!
