You will be given a topic, a question, a prompt, and evidence. Use that information to ORGANIZE an argument. You will not be writing an argumentative essay.

You will complete an organizer as you have done previously.

Topic: Wild Animals in Captivity
Question: Should animals be kept in zoos?
Prompt: You will organize an argument against keeping animals in zoos.

EVIDENCE 1

Negative Effects of Keeping Animals in Zoos

Not even the city zoos are safe. At the London Zoo this month, 11 South African penguins were attacked and killed by a wild animal that lives in the city-the fox. Although the penguin pool is normally surrounded by a fence, this pool had been damaged in 2008 and never repaired. The urban fox, known for its intelligence, can easily detect breakages and openings in fences and enclosures.

-London Daily Sun, March 2009

EVIDENCE 2

Negative Effects of Keeping Animals in Zoos

Biologists conducted a study on the life span of elephants that live in different environments. They studied elephants living in the wild and elephants living zoos. The study showed a marked difference in the life span of the elephants. It was concluded that the size of the environment makes a big difference in how long elephants are able to live.

(1) fire extended humans’ geographical boundaries by allowing them to travel into regions that were previously too cold to explore. (2) it also kept predators away, allowing early humans to sleep securely. (3) fire, in fact, has been a significant factor in human development and progress in many ways. (4) other obvious benefits of fire are its uses in cooking and in hunting. (5) probably even more important, however, is that learning to control fire allowed people to change the very rhythm of their lives. (6) before fire, the human daily cycle coincided with the rising and setting of the sun. (7) with fire, though, humans gained time to think and talk about the day’s events and to prepare strategies for coping with tomorrow. the sentence that expresses the main idea is: (type the number of the sentence. then click “go.”)

1) earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) the plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) they can move because earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) plates may also collide. (8) when that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) for example, the collision of the plate carrying the indian subcontinent created the himalayan mountains when it collided with the asian plate. which statement about this paragraph is accurate?
