Writing Styles and Informational Text Structure

The study results indicate that investment in early childhood education has long-term social advantages. 

During the storm that was raging outside, the researcher sat by the window and carefully examined the data that was collected from the experiment.

Imagine a tranquil library where the gentle sound of turning pages fills the atmosphere as students diligently study scholarly journals.

Implementing renewable energy technology may substantially diminish greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.

Governments must prioritize financing for scientific research to promote innovation and effectively tackle global concerns.

^{Popular Sports}

^{Football and baseball are two of the most popular sports in the country.  They have many things in common.  For one, they are both team sports, and they both require players to advance to an end or “home” point on the playing field.  However, football requires players to carry the ball to the end zone, whereas in baseball, it is the defending team that controls the ball while it is in play.}

Studying for a Test

Believe it or not, as important as it is, many students do not know how to study for a test.  Well, studying for a test is easy.  The first thing that you must do is take out your notes.  Open your notes up to the section that you are supposed to review.  Read what you wrote in your notebook.  When you are done, close your notebook and see if you remember the ideas that you were studying.  Still don’t remember?  Open your notebook back up a try again.

Low Test Scores

  Many students have been getting low scores on tests and this is upsetting to parents, teachers, and students.  Low test scores show that teachers aren’t teaching effectively or that students aren’t learning.  Either way it’s an issue with which we are concerned.  I propose the following: any teacher who is giving a test should open up their classroom for study groups the night and morning before the test.  Maybe by giving students extra opportunities to study, we can improve students’ test scores.

The Gym Room

The gym room at the high school down the street from me is huge.  Along the North and South walls are bleachers that fold up during gym.  Coach pulls the bleachers out for big games.  At the end of the East and West walls are basketball hoops.  The ceilings are very high and at the top of the gym are many large windows.  The windows go all the way around the gym.  There are also ropes that are either tucked away or hang from the ceilings in the middle of the gym.  The ropes intimidate some students. That gym is my favorite place.

Eligibility

Being involved in after school sports and clubs is not a right.  It is a privilege.  Therefore, students have to meet eligibility requirements.  If students have any “D”s or “F”s, they are not allowed to play.  Also, if students have behavior issues in class, they cannot be on the team or in the club.  Lastly, students need to keep good attendance.  If students miss school, they most certainly cannot come to practice.  Being on a team is a lot of responsibility.  If students are not proving to be responsible, they will not be permitted to be in clubs or teams.
