PLEASE HURRY Read the following excerpt from Mateo’s speech to the school district on its snow day policy. When Mateo delivered the speech, he made sure to use many expressive hand gestures, a casual tone, and a varying pace.

“Our district’s current snow day policy was designed to balance the safety of students and teachers with the need to prevent disruptions to learning. However, the policy does not take into account the modern realities of the classroom. Our overly cautious policy calls for no more than five snow days per school year, with a preference for late-start over total cancellation. With online textbooks and lectures available to us, however, we can stay home without disrupting learning—so why maintain such strict limits?”
