Rewrite the stanza below. You may rewrite it completely, or change some key words to create a new meaning. You may make up nonsense words, or use real words to change the meaning of the stanza.

Read this paragraph from Passage 1.

One last change to movies to think about is production costs. Some studios spend hundreds of millions of dollars to create a film, but with a good enough film and a worldwide audience, they can also make billions of dollars in return. Movies have become a huge business, and the days of the small theater may be gone forever. For some of the old-fashioned movie lovers, this is not a good thing.

A “One Star Wars movie approached two billion dollars in worldwide revenue in less than a month of release.”

C “Of course, there are many reasons why today’s movies can earn so much more in revenue than the older movies did.”
D “The risks associated with investing in a movie are still high.”

Reread these sentences from Progress Report 10 (April 21) from “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes.

I’m not sure what an I.Q. is. Dr. Nemur said it was something that measured how intelligent you were—like a scale in the drugstore weighs pounds. But Dr. Strauss had a big argument with him and said an I.Q. didn’t weigh intelligence at all. He said an I.Q.showed how much intelligence you could get, like the numbers on the outside of a measuring cup. You still had to fill the cup up with stuff. Then when I asked Burt [. . .] he said that both of them were wrong [. . .]. Burt says that the I.Q. measures a lot of different things including some of the things you learned already, and it really isn’t any good at all.

Write a multi paragraph essay that explains which character’s opinion (Dr. Nemur, Dr. Strauss, or Burt) is most supported by “Does IQ Test Really Measure Intelligence?” and “IQ Tests are ‘Meaningless and Too Simplistic’ Claim Researchers.” Cite evidence from the both texts to support your response. Be sure to observe the conventions of standard English.

Don’t forget that you must restate and answer to create your thesis statement and follow with 1 or 2 reasons.
