topic proposal

Standardized tests play a huge role in education today. Standardized tests are meant to predict how well a student will perform in school. A bad score on a standardized test can hold a student back from advancing in their educational system. A good score can help a student advance even though that student may not deserve it. There have been many debates on whether standardized testing measures a student's intelligence or not. Some people claim standardized tests eliminate grading bias, but others say it isn’t accurate since performance is based off one test.  
My proposal states that standardized testing falsely measures student intelligence and needs to be changed.  Standardized test scores can hold students back who have the potential to be successful in college. One test score should not determine some one's future. If schools continue to focus on standardized test scores, students will continue to lose opportunities.  
I chose this topic because. I think this is a issue that needs to be addressed. It isn't fair to students that one test score can affect their future so much. I personally didn't have the best score on my ACT, and I know that score doesn't reflect how I am doing in college.

The purpose is to make the audience feel emotional by using pathos. We see how strong the relationship is with her and her dog. The commercial foreshadows that the dog is about to be put down so this makes the audience sad, but at the same time watching all the memories between the dog and her owner makes t...
