Bryan is about to deliver a speech to the local school board about starting school an hour later. What types of evidence should Bryan use when making his case?
What will be an ideal response?
A correct answer might choose to use a combination of examples, statistics, and testimony
when making the case. For instance, Bryan might choose to use comparative examples of
academic achievement of schools that have later start times against those with early start times.
Further, Bryan might use statistics such as standardized test results, or GPAs, or graduation rates
to support the proposition of starting school later. Bryan might also use personal testimony of
children who are tired because they have to get up early for school. Bryan could also use
testimony of scientific researchers discussing the problems of sleep deprivation on academic
achievement.
