Imagine you are trying to convince your district's school board that changing the high school start time from 7:10 a. m. to 8:30 a. m. would benefit all
students. Which appeal would most likely move this audience to support your
cause?
A. You probably don't remember how hard it is for young people to
get up early, but I am a teenager, and I'm telling you, it's practically
impossible.
B. Studies show that teenagers bodies have a biological drive to stay
awake fairly late at night, so early start times lead to a constantly a
overtired student population.
C. I consulted the records in the office, and they show that 75
percent of the students at our school arrived late to at least one
class in the last semester.
D. It frustrates my parents when sleep through my alarm and have
to ask them to drive me to school a situation that would not
occur with the later start time.
