ELAGSE8W1a.

Read the paragraph from a student's argumentative essay.

1 Over the past few years, our school has not offered a student newspaper program. 2 Living in the digital age, it may seem as though the idea of a printed newspaper is outdated and unnecessary, but I think it is important to bring back this tradition. 3 School newspapers allow student writers to express their creative ideas and student readers to learn about the people, activities, and trends in their schools. 4 Students who work on school newspapers gain invaluable experience in writing, researching, and interviewing. 5 For these reasons, we should consider reestablishing a printed student newspaper at our school.

Which sentence should be added between sentence 4 and sentence 5 to provide credible and relevant support for the student’s argument?

DOK 2

According to Dr. Lyons, a journalism professor at a local university, “The school will need to plan in advance how frequently newspapers are printed and recruit students who are interested in journalism to work on the newspaper staff.”

A study conducted by the High School Journalism Institute found that roughly 20 percent of students who worked on their school newspaper demonstrated better writing and grammar skills in college than students who did not have those journalism experiences.

According to Mr. Johnson, the football coach, “Similar to sports, working on the school newspaper requires teamwork, which is necessary to meet print deadlines.”

In a recent school survey, 70 percent of students felt a school newspaper would help students feel more connected to each other, but an overwhelming number of these students indicated they would be most interested in reading an online newspaper.
