Read the story below. Then finish it with your own writing.

Today is the opening day of the state fair. I am going with my dad. We go together every year. I always have fun at the fair.

We wait until the evening, when it is cooler outside. Then, we get in the car and drive to the fairgrounds. We have to park far away because it is very crowded. We walk for a long time. Then, we finally arrive at the fair!

We are both very hungry. We look for someone selling food. Then, we find someone selling hamburgers. I eat a hamburger and my dad eats a slice of pizza. I want an ice cream cone, too. But, my dad tells me to wait until later.

Next, we go to the petting zoo. I pet a sheep and a goat. I ride a pony around a ring. It is scary at first, but I have a lot of fun.

Now it is time to ride the carnival rides. Which one should I ride first!

Argue for or against the statement below using a formal argument. In a formal argument, you must:

Statement: Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Example Answer:

I disagree with the statement above; I think a better product results when more people have input into its design. After all, some of our greatest inventions have come as a result of a collaborative effort. For example, the production of a car is the result of the collaborative expertise of mechanics, engineers, chemists, metallurgists, and even sales people who have contact with the buyers.

Read the story below. Then finish it with your own writing.

“Marcus, it’s time for you to get up!” my mom called as she pounded on my bedroom door. I looked at the clock on my dresser. It was six in the morning, and I was very grumpy. I stayed up late writing a book report last night and I did not go to sleep until midnight.

“Okay Mom, I’ll be out in a minute,” I said. I got out of my bed and took a quick shower. I got dressed and packed my books into my backpack.

“Marcus, you are going to be late!” Mom yelled up the stairs.

“I’m coming!” I yelled back. I hurried down the stairs. Mom handed me a banana and a bagged lunch as I walked out the door.

As I was walking to the bus stop, I spotted a green piece of paper ahead of me on the sidewalk.

When I reached it, I picked it up and realized that it was a twenty dollar bill! I looked around to see if any of my neighbors were outside. There was no one in sight. I stuck the twenty dollar bill into my back pocket and ran to the bus stop. I got there just as the bus was arriving.

I got on the bus and sat in the second-to-last seat with my friend James.

“Hey, James. What’s up?” I said.

“Oh, nothing.” James said sadly.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“My mom gave me twenty dollars to buy the soccer ball I wanted” he said.

“So…that’s great!” I exclaimed.

“Yeah, but I think I lost it. I can’t find it anywhere.” He replied.
