Another student wrote the following:It's almost impossible for a teacher to stop a student from bringing a cell phone to class, but teachers can help them use devices responsibly. First, teachers can give students the facts about research on multitasking with a cell phone while doing classroom assignments. They can also model effective use of cell phones with interactive activities like Kahoot or Poll Everywhere. Then, during activities when students need to concentrate, teachers can ask students to put their phones face down on their desks or put them away. When teachers take the time to explain the "why" behind their rules on cell phones, students are much more likely to not only follow the rules but also have more effective study habits outside of class.Are these sentences effective or ineffective?

First read the passage below. Then answer the questions.“Do Cell Phones Belong in the Classroom?”By Robert Earl[W]hatever a school's approach to technology, cell phones seem to be nearly ubiquitous.  An April 2010 study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project and the University of Michigan found that in schools that permitted students to have cell phones, 71 percent of students sent or received text messages on their cell phones in class.  In the majority of schools -- those that allow students to have phones in school but not use them in the classroom - the percentage was almost as high: 65%.  Even in schools that ban cell phones entirely, the percentage was still a shocking 58%.            Many teachers have given in and allowed their students to listen to music through their earbuds while they're doing individual class work (reading or writing or conducting research).  "I concentrate better on my schoolwork when I'm listening to music," is the rationalization from many students.  Many teachers seem to accept this reasoning, little knowing about the data on multitasking and its deleterious effects on concentration and the ability to think clearly.  Two years ago, for example, Peter Bregman wrote in the Harvard Business Review Blog Network that multitasking can reduce productivity by as much as 40%, increase stress and cause a 10-point fall in IQ. Source: https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/05/do-cell-phones-belong-in-the-classroom/257325/Links to an external site. After reading the excerpt above, a student wrote the sentences below.  High school students always use cell phones in class.  Their teachers let them do this because they don't know that multitasking totally destroys students' ability to think.Are these sentences effective or ineffective? Choose the best response below.Group of answer choicesYes, they are effective. They need no revisions.No, there are too many boosters like "always" and "totally destroys." These should be replaced with more specific information or hedges like "sometimes" or "may do this because..."No, there are too many hedges. These should be replaced with more boosters like "absolutely" or "certainly."
