Lake Travis High School The Discrimination of Standardized Testing Question

 

I need the attached outline filled out and a minimum of a 4 page persuasive essay on standardized testing based on the outline and your research. Here’s a list of requirements. My claim is that I believe that standardized testing in college admissions is discriminatory to minorities and the lower class.

  • Imagine this is an article that could be published in an existing journal, magazine, newspaper, or on a website. Between the MLA heading and the essay title, briefly and specifically, describe the audience and the venue. Here is an example:
  • State a compelling thesis. Usually, such claims occur at the beginning of an academic essay. However, when writing to a potentially hostile audience sometimes it is appropriate to withhold the claim until after the presentation of evidence. The support for this thesis should come from your research.
  • You are required to use a minimum of six sources for this assignment. At least one of these should be an academic journal article. Carefully evaluate each source for its relevance and credibility–you aren’t looking to pad the essay, but rather to support your claims.
  • Include a Works Cited list.
  • Include a descriptive title for your essay.
  • Length: 4-6 pages in length, typed, double-spaced (length not including Works Cited page)
  • MLA guidelines for format, headings, quotes, and citations.
  • Proofread carefully.
