Okay S eighty writing shmoop er's We're getting you all

00:05

trained up to become an editor at schmuck you know

00:08

but that's what you really dream of doing when you

00:10

were a little Ok Well here we go We got

00:11

eleven more of these things and a whole big megillah

00:15

here that we're going to read about Well rounded curriculum

00:19

I think you're going to be talking about reasonable conditions

00:22

What do you think president decided to leave lincoln relegate

00:24

percent and percent per decade Our dedication And that was

00:27

enough to last a lifetime If i can only between

00:28

israel times economically publications like what we're going for something

00:31

a little side bet going on about getting really really

00:33

wanted me back I don't know everything My father is

00:35

a good thing that my father was a nickel back

00:38

T o your insight Okay well wow That's ah politically

00:43

charged statement here So let's See where we go with

00:46

it First question to make the paragraph flow most smoothly

00:51

Where should sentence one be placed All right well think

00:56

about this so sentence ones go back right here It

00:59

is the making of connections through a rich arts inclusive

01:03

curriculum that ultimately empowers a student to develop convictions and

01:08

reach their full academic and social potential So let's think

01:13

about this since one is more of a concluding sentence

01:17

than an introductory one right Putting the sentence last follows

01:20

the forward momentum of the paragraph ten sparrow graph begins

01:23

with a question gives a wrong answer was probably bad

01:26

grammar and then offers a right answer since one elaborate

01:30

on that right answer and makes a claim that builds

01:33

off of the three proceeding senses So probably ought to

01:36

go with the end like right here right Unless we're

01:39

playing jeopardy It's tough to answer a question before the

01:41

question has even been asked with sentence one where it

01:44

is now That's exactly what's happening And you know i

01:47

have an aunt who does that always in thanksgiving All

01:49

right well if sentence one came after sentenced to let

01:52

it sort of kind of makes sense Maybe since it's

01:55

answering the question but it would throw off sentence three

01:58

there Who's yet is meant to directly follow sentenced to

02:02

thereby creating a contrast you have to remember when you're

02:05

answering these kind of questions you can't change any words

02:07

subsequently or linkages or whatever All you can do is

02:10

cut and paste the sentence they're talking about You can't

02:13

do any carpentry around the edges We'll put in sentence

02:16

one before sentencing Four might confuse the reader by making

02:19

her think that the rich curriculum is the math science

02:22

and reading mentioned in sentence Three like all the things

02:25

that you you know actually could do to get a

02:28

job and pay your rent in the real world So

02:30

that's it Er the answer is d after sentence for 00:02:34.343 --> [endTime] we're done
