ANSWER KEY:

1 Accept any definition of education, as long as there appears to be rational

thought. Students will likely list personal goals. They may or may not
include subjects like college, careers, etc.. These are all acceptable.
2 Students should name their learning type. It can be used to enhance
studying methods and learn more about yourself.
3 This is an opinion. As long as there is an elaboration, give them credit.
4 Any author may be selected, as long as there are at least three supporting
details as to what that author did to create change.
5 Hopefully, the student will list reasons such as societal change, or
communication, or the intrinsic value of knowledge.

The no wrong answers watermark is true. As long as effort is

clear, give the student credit.
