(2 points)

Answer 1

This claim needs to be revised because it does not provide any reasons to support the idea that school should only be four days a week. A revised claim could be: "School should only be four days a week because it would give students more time to pursue their interests, reduce stress, and allow teachers to have more time to plan engaging lessons."

Answer 2

This claim needs to be revised because it is solely based on Kayla's personal opinion without any supporting reasons or evidence. A revised claim could be: "Reducing the school week to four days can improve student engagement, reduce stress levels, and provide more time for extracurricular activities."

Answer 3

This claim needs to be revised because Kayla's perspective as the writer is not enough to support her claim. A claim that could be supported with reasons in an argumentative essay is: "Implementing a four-day school week can improve student performance and well-being."

Answer 4

The claim needs to be revised because it is based on Kayla's personal opinion without providing any supporting reasons. A revised claim could be "Schools should adopt a four-day week schedule as studies have shown increased academic performance, student engagement, and teacher satisfaction."
