Question

Imagine you want to convince the local school board that changing the high school start time from 7:10 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. would benefit all students. Which appeal would most likely move this audience to support your cause?

Answer 1

If the time school begins get pushed back later in the morning, students can work on homework late and still be able to get all 8 hours of sleep. This will keep them more awake and paying attention in class.

Answer 2

Answer:

The appeal that would likely move this audience to support this cause would be "Studies show that teenage bodies have a biological motivation to stay reasonably late at night, so the early days lead to a constantly tired student population."

Explanation:

This argument would be appropriate to convince the school council to change the start time of classes, because this argument has a scientific basis that proves that the time that the students wake up can influence the learning. This is because it is scientifically proven that adolescents are biologically stimulated to sleep late at night and when they need to wake up too early, they may get tired and can not learn the content of the lesson.
