35 points Using the writer’s ideas below, draft a response that achieves the goal of using text evidence to support an original commentary. You may refer to the steps in the Checklist as a guide while you write your commentary. I read an essay about the most popular sports in America. The details indicate that football remains number one. Second most popular is baseball, and third is basketball with support shown by levels of attendance at professional games. I support the main idea of this thesis on the national level, but I would also respond with a claim that in high school, this is not the case. I would support my claim by offering anecdotal evidence that baseball games are usually not as well attended as football or basketball in high schools and give my opinions why I think so.

Before you submit your response, use BOLD for your text evidence and use ITALICS for your commentary.
