Read "The Professor Is a Dropout" and think about how dramatically one test result changed Guadalupe Quintanilla's life. The one cause, her very poor test result, started a chain of consequences that ended with her tremendous success.

 

YOUR ASSIGNMENT:

  1. Speculate how Lupe Quintanilla's life would have been different if she had been IQ tested in Spanish instead of English. This form of Cause and Effect writing—speculative cause and effect—requires you to imagine the results of an event that never occurred. You'll use comparison and contrast also, to explain in what ways her life might have been different from, in what ways similar to, the life she in fact led.

  2. Use the "Add a Comment" field below to contribute to the conversation.

  3. Check the Chart below to see if you are finished.

  4. Continue to contribute until you score a 5 out of 5.

  5. I have created an Overflow page where you can continue the conversation after you score 5.

 

THESE ARE YOUR SCORES SO FAR. PLENTY OF TIME TO IMPROVE!
