Let's take a look at a past ELA Regents Part 2 exam and do the following: Read the entire text and graph.
Read the instructions and answer the following:
What kind of texts do you expect to read?
I expect to read an article and a graph about the Florida manatees.
What is a graph, and what kind of information does it elicit?
A graph is a chart that has data that is organized in a way that you can see what happened throughout a time period.
How can you compare the two?
The text tells you some of the leading cause of death to manatees and the graph tells you how many death.
What are they asking you to do in this essay?
They asked that in your essay you must explain why the Florida manatees are endangered and discuss methods that can be used to save the Florida manatee.
Is this a persuasive or informative essay? Why?
I think this is an informative essay because it is informing you how manatees are getting killed and the number of manatees are killed.
What thesis statement can you possibly write for this essay?
The Florida manatees is an endangered species that are being killed by the hundreds every year and there are some possible ways to help these endangered species from being extinct.
What if they wanted you to write a Letter to a senator, then how many paragraphs would you write?
The minimum of 4 and the maximum of 6 paragraphs i will write in the letter.
