he clearly needs more Is the civil rights issue of
- 00:24
our generation and why arts education remains so critical to
- 00:28
leveling the playing field of opportunity Let's find the fourth
- 00:33
paragraph One two three four here we go Right it's
- 00:36
right there So would we add that at the end
- 00:38
there for see little six there they kind of give
- 00:40
you a ticket for privileged elite children from disadvantaged backgrounds
- 00:44
for english language learners or instant with disabilities often do
- 00:46
not get the enrichment of affluence anywhere except at school
- 00:49
And then do we add this sentence here This and
- 00:51
that is one reason why well without this additional sentence
- 00:55
paragraph for really does float awkwardly in the middle of
- 00:58
the essay Sure the fact that many children get opportunities
- 01:01
at school that they wouldn't have at home is a
- 01:03
relevant detail that why included adding this sentence explains that
- 01:07
this is a big reason the writer supports arts education
- 01:11
why he's advocating for it in the first place and
- 01:14
it kind of anchors the perfected he has is like

- 01:26
that a well rounded curriculum that includes the arts is
- 01:28
important it's important So all students have the same opportunities
- 01:31
for success Well maybe maybe do we really believe that
- 01:34
therefore this sentence elaborate ce on the theme of the
- 01:37
essay at least the essay believe that rather than you
- 01:40
know distract from so get rid of a there in
- 01:42
the next paragraph the author will use eye or be
- 01:46
there again So it's actually helpful to be used into
- 01:48
that personal recollection with the appearance of eye in this
- 01:52
paragraph though the sentence calls arts education a civil rights
- 01:55
issue Well it doesn't explain why it's a civil rights
- 01:58
issue just kind of comes out of nowhere So yeah
- 01:59
all those air out it's not a b or c
- 02:02
see it's d because it reinforces the reason the author
- 02:05
thinks the topic of his essay is important So that's 00:02:09.598 --> [endTime] it Go ahead you
