Which of the following is a topic sentence?

To begin, the year-round model would not work because students in high school use the summer to work.

Thus, students will be missing many lessons if they can’t work during the summer because of yearlong school.

Teens learn responsibility by having a set schedule and tasks they must do at their summer jobs.

For example, many teens learn responsibility through working summer jobs.

Which of the following sentences represents the "L" in PEEL?

In short, it would be a big loss if students cannot attend summer camp because of school.

Moreover, year-long school is not a good idea because many students go to camps during the summer.

Teens often don’t understand what “the value of a dollar” means until it is their own money.

By having year-long school, so many students will miss out on those important life lessons about responsibility

Which of the following is NOT a strong topic sentence?

In this paragraph, I am going to write about how students' summer jobs make it so year-round schools are not a good idea.

Most importantly, year-round school will cost too much money of tax-payers money.

Moreover, students will miss out on summer camps if they are required to go to year-round school.

To begin, year-round school should not happen because students use the summer to work.

Which of the following would be a sentence EXPLAINING why practices and clubs would not be able to meet until 4:45pm if the school start time is pushed to later?

This later start to the meeting times not only affects the students’ schedules, but also the coaches and sponsors. Everyone’s schedules would be pushed to be later.

Clearly, switching the schedule to a later start to accommodate sleep would defeat the purpose due to after-school activities.

Firstly, starting and ending school later would greatly affect after-school activities in a negative way.

For example, after-school clubs and sports practices would not be able to meet until at least 4:45 pm and would not get home until about 6:00 pm or later.

What would the SECOND body paragraph's topic sentence be if the essay's thesis statement is this: Schools should not start later because it would interrupt after-school activities, part-time jobs, and students’ responsibilities outside of school.

Next, school start times do not need to be changed because students have part-time jobs.

Most importantly, schools should not start later because students have responsibilities outside of school.

To begin, if schools push the start time to later, then that will interrupt after-school activities.

Therefore, schools need to think twice before changing the start time because of students' part-time jobs.

What would the THIRD body paragraph's topic sentence be if the essay's thesis statement is this: Schools should not start later because it would interrupt after-school activities, part-time jobs, and students’ responsibilities outside of school.

Most importantly, schools should not start later because students have responsibilities outside of school.

Next, school start times do not need to be changed because students have part-time jobs.

To begin, if schools push the start time to later, then that will interrupt after-school activities.

Therefore, schools need to think twice before changing the start time because of students' part-time jobs.
