Essential Question:   what can we do to help students who cannot afford school supplies?
 
Three Points to Prove: #1:  school supplies should be affordable to all students
 
 
                                        #2:  accessibility to education shouldn’t be determined by hoe rich or poor a
family is
 
 
                                        #3: many students don’t have access to basic school supplies and that affects
their learning opportunities
 
 
 
Point that this Source Proves:   #2
 
 
 
 
Excerpts (These should provide insight into the Point to Prove) 
 
 “Without supplies, students can’t participate in the lesson, says this 20-year
teaching veteran. “Academically, they won’t do well.”

“Having a backpack if everyone has a backpack, having a notebook and pencils and really
wanting to do the right thing,” says Venturi. “They want to do well.”

“Venturi has been shopping twice annually at the Minneapolis resource center for years.
She gets some $300 worth of supplies. “

 
Analysis (How does this source support the Point to Prove?): 
 
 
 This supports my point to prove because this shows that teachers are expected to provide
school supplies for their students that aren’t able to buy their own.
 This supports my point to prove also because a teacher that was interviewed said that
students that have the same things as other students are more encouraged to keep up and
learn compared to students that have no supplies that are in the same class as other
students that can afford school supplies.
