Which sentence should be deleted from this body paragraph?
Read the body paragraph from a student's rhetorical
analysis essay
Wexler uses juxtaposition to create support for a new
way of teaching civics. She criticizes "action civics,"
which she thinks can "entrench (students) in their
preexisting perspective." Instead, Wexler suggests
journalism as a way to teach students to see different
perspectives. Wexler proposes that civics teachers
encourage their students to attend city council and
school board meetings to report on local political
matters. This allows students to "[perform] a public
service and gain an understanding of how government
works." She does note that "our deeply flawed approach
to writing instruction has left many teenagers unable to
express themselves well in writing." By juxtaposing
flawed teaching methods and new ways of teaching
civics, Wexler effectively supports the claim that reform
in civics education is needed.
