Read the introduction from a student's rhetorical analysis essay
The addition of which sentence would strengthen this
introduction?
In the 2020 article "To Educate Good Citizens, We
Need More Than the 'New Civics" in Forbes Magazine,
Senior Editor Natalie Wexler acknowledges the need
for a new concept of civics education. She argues that
most attempts to improve civics in schools are too
general or political. She believes that people need to
"rethink basic assumptions about teaching and
learning." She juxtaposes "action civics” and journalism
that involve students in their communities.
One of Wexler's points is that students fail to
engage with civics because it is "traditionally
conceived as boring."
Wexler uses facts and reasoning to present an
effective argument that civics instruction needs
reform
Wexler's comments about "action civics" can be
politically controversial and unrealistic.

i felt like if a train had run over me. i felt miserable. he didn´t even asked me a question nor check on my skills! a pretty face and a perfect body was just as perfect for the position.

when i got home i cried for a long time until my tears dried from my being, then i told myself:   you are who you are, no one can tell you that you are not good enough because of your physical appearance. your intelligence will last forever! bodies age, faces disappear, but you   will always be
