How to Play
• The question will appear on the screen. Discuss
the question as a group and have one person
write down your answer.

correct answer on the powerpoint.
• If you get the question right, you send ONE
person from your team to choose a sticky note.

choose a sticky note.

Read the Passage:
“As a new year begins, American
parents should join First Lady Michelle
Obama’s campaign for healthier school
lunches. Research shows that offering
more nutritious school lunches leads to
healthier, happier kids. Academic
success is also linked to healthier school
lunches.”

Which of these is the BEST EVIDENCE to
support the author’s claim?
a. “Nutritious school lunches show a link
to higher test scores.”
b. “1 in 3 children are overweight or
obese.”
c. “More than 30 million kids
participated in 2013’s National Day of
Play.”
Answer 15
A is the best answer, “Nutritious school
lunches show a link to higher test
scores.”
Why is this quote better than the others?
Question 16
Which of these is a good counterclaim to the
passage?
a. “Michelle Obama’s school lunch plan does
not work because surveys show it does not
have parent support.”
b. “If kids don’t exercise then there’s no point
in changing school lunches.”
c. “Healthy food is gross and kids won’t eat it,
so Michelle Obama’s school lunch plan won’t
work.”
Answer 16
A is best, “Michelle Obama’s school lunch
plan does not work because studies
show it does not have parent support.”
What is wrong with the other two quotes?
Question 17
