Use this guide to prepare for the extended responses that you’ll be writing on the Reasoning Through Language Arts.  \n• Step 1: Read the instructions for the Extended Response task.  \n• Step 2: Read the two passages.  \n• Step 3: Review the sample extended response that received full score points (6 points out of 6 possible)  \n• Step 4: Understand the reasons why the response received full score points.  \nStep 1: Read the instructions  \nExtended Response Instructions:  \nRead  \n• You will read two texts presenting different views on the same topic.  \n• Both writers argue that their position on the issue is the right one.  \nPlan  \n• Analyze the two texts to determine which writer presents the stronger case.  \n• Develop your own argument in which you explain how one position is better supported than the other.  \n• Include relevant and specific evidence from both sources to support your argument. Write  \n• Type your response in the box on the right.  \n• Your response should be approximately 4 to 7 paragraphs of 3 to 7 sentences each.  \n• Remember to allow a few minutes to review and edit your response. You have up to 45 minutes for reading, planning, writing, and editing your response.  \nStep 2: Read the two passages , A and B  \nPassage A  \nPress Release from the Office of  \nU.S Representative Melody Walls  \nUnited States House of Representatives Washington, DC  \nRepresentative Walls Announces Economic Boost for 12th District July 17, 2013  \nWashington, DC – Representative Melody Walls announced that Congress passed the highway and transit bill today.  \n“This bill funds the expansion of Highway 17 from a two-lane highway to a four-lane thoroughfare. It will positively affect the town of Oak Falls,” Walls said. As part of the expansion, Highway 17 will move two miles east of the town of Oak Falls. The bill will ease traffic congestion and create job opportunities during and after construction.  \nLast year, Representative Walls held town hall meetings to gather opinions from her constituents about revitalizing the economy in the 12th District. Two years ago, Turnaround Motors and Bell Camera closed their factory doors. The result has been high unemployment with no immediate prospects for new businesses. Representative Walls heard residents’concerns for jobs in the district.  \nImproving the highway means jobs for local construction workers. Once completed, the highway will bring more long-distance travelers into the area. Some officials anticipate a 30% increase in highway traffic due to the ease of traveling on the improved Highway 17. An increase in travelers will attract national motel and restaurant chains along the highway route. These national businesses will mean permanent jobs for residents.  \nIn the future, historical features in Oak Falls and Gaston, such as brick streets built by early settlers and the old wheat mill, will likely become popular tourist attractions. More visitors will increase business for local shops and restaurants.  \nThe improved highway will eliminate eighteen-wheeler traffic through towns, a major source of traffic congestion and noise. A 2001 study in Texas showed that bypasses reduce traffic through towns by as much as 75% . Eliminating eighteen-wheeler traffic will also reduce road maintenance costs.  \nThe improvement of Highway 17, funded by federal tax allocations, is an important investment in the area.  \nPassage B  \nOak Falls Gazette  \nLetter to the Editor  \nI am a small-business owner living in Representative Walls’s congressional district. A bill has been passed to expand Highway 17 from a two-lane highway to a four-lane thoroughfare. This change includes plans to move Highway 17 two miles to the east, which means it will now bypass our town completely. I find this unacceptable.  \nThe Gazette reports that because Highway 17 runs through six states, construction will be paid for with federal road funds.
