FS Q3 Review

The "S" in SMART goals stands for...

• standard

• specific

• stressful

• substantial

A SMART goal should reference a date or period of time in which to achieve the goal.

• True

• False

Which statement is the BEST revision of this goal: My goal is to sleep more.

• I want to go to bed at 10:00 each school night so I can get 8 hours of sleep.

• I will be done with homework/studying by 9 so I can be read to sleep at 10 on school nights for the next 2 weeks.

• I will sleep more each night because I need to be more focused at school.

• I will finish homework early so I can go to bed at 10 each school night for the next 2 weeks.

A claim is...

• an opinion

• facts from the text

• thinking behind evidence

• an arguable statement

Consider this claim:

Soda in a glass bottle tastes better than soda in a plastic bottle.

Which piece of evidence better supports this claim?

• Evidence A: A taste researcher at a top college notes that exposure to light can alter the taste of soda. "Soda in an aluminum can may taste fresher than soda in a clear plastic bottle," she explains.

• Evidence B: According to the Institute of Food Technologists, soda's fizz leaks out of a plastic bottle faster than a glass bottle, making it go flat sooner. Unlike glass, plastic also tends to transfer an unpleasant taste into soda.

_{Review the claim and the two pieces of evidence.}

_{Evidence A: A taste researcher at a top college notes that exposure to light can alter the taste of soda. "Soda in an aluminum can may taste fresher than soda in a clear plastic bottle," she explains.}

_{Evidence B: According to the Institute of Food Technologists, soda's fizz leaks out of a plastic bottle faster than a glass bottle, making it go flat sooner. Unlike glass, plastic also tends to transfer an unpleasant taste into soda.}

_{Why is Evidence B stronger than Evidence A?}

• Evidence A does not directly support the claim. It does not compare soda in glass bottles to soda in plastic bottles.

• Evidence A is anecdotal. The source is voicing a personal opinion about soda containers.
