Powerpoint:

Comment: This FRQ received a 6. The essay had a clear thesis and used two specific facts. The author used used Muhammad Ali and Sit-ins effectively to support his/her thesis. However, this essay did not get a 7 because it failed to tie the specific facts back to the thesis. The essay also mentioned drug and sex as a support but the author did not mention how the Vietnam War caused the drug and sex use to be popular.

I also think that this essay deserves 6. It answered questions clearly but used limited facts. It also lacked in analysis when mentioning Ali and Sit-ins.
