Identify the central idea, and cite three paragraphs that support the central idea.
This is an example of a 3 answer. The answer not only is completely and thoroughly answered, with strong supporting explicit text evidence with citations, the language used is of a higher academic level, and grammatically correct.
Martin Luther King was a leader and not a follower and his actions affected the public. In the text it states that “He graduated first in his class in 1951 and was elected student body president,” so he led his class in p4. Also in p7 it said, “Led by King, the African-American community boycotted Montgomery and refused to ride the bus.” Also it stated that “the city of Montgomery gave in and ended segregated public transportation.” Lastly in p12 it states that “His life and work are honored with a national holiday. Schools and public buildings have been named after him, as well as a memorial in Washington, D.C.”
This is another example of a 3 answer. This answer is correct, but the language used is more elementary, and the supporting evidence is not as strong.
I think that the central idea is that Martin Luther King Jr. was a very smart and brave person and is remembered to this day. In paragraph 3 it says that he skipped two grades in high school and entered college at the age of 15. In paragraph 8 it says that he led protest at lunch counters and marches, and that when he was jailed with other demonstrators MLKJr. “explained that nonviolent protest is designed to create a crisis, so that a community is forced to face its problems and deal with them.”. In paragraph 12 it says that “His life and work are honored with a national holiday. Schools and public buildings have been named after him, as well as a memorial in Washington, D.C.”.
This is a 2 answer, because there is little evidence of “freedom”. You must find evidence to support everything you are saying in the central idea. Also, the answer does not not correctly use capitalization.
In my opinion i think that, the central idea is that Martin Luther King Jr. brought freedom and brotherhood to his community. In p.1″He had an enormous effect on the way Americans of different races interact and helped end the unequal treatment of African-Americans in the South.” also in p.9 “It emphasized his belief that someday all men could be brothers.” and in p.10 ” Kingʻs actions strongly affected public opinion.”
