Overall, the airplane could change people's lives.This response received a zero because:It does not answer the question "...do you think the modified airplane is a good idea?"It does not provide textual support or evidence to back up their answer.Yes, I think Gupta's modified airplane is a good idea. The modified airplane is used to train engineering students and flight attendants during the week. "During the week, Gupta uses the plane to train engineering students and flight attendants." The modified airplane is a good thing.This response received a zero because:The student merely provides a response that echoes the evidence provided. They never explain anything or provide an original thought.Students received a oneAfter reading "Postcard: New Delhi", I think Gupta's modified airplane is a good thing because it helps people. "We want to orient them about aviation manners." "People have money, but they don't know how to behave. We want to acquaint them with the cost of a plane, the safety aspects, and how to treat the hostesses." He states the airplane is a good help to them.This response received a 1 because:The student provides an answer and proves it sufficiently with textual evidence that is specific and related to their answer; however, the student never explains how their quote proves their answer.I don't think Gupta's modified airplane is a good idea. Yes, it is a nice gesture for the poor families in New Delhi, but in reality what is it going to do for people? At the most it would give them hopes and dreams. Why teach families how to act on a plane if they are never going to enjoy one? That would sort of crush me in a way. Gupta is extremely generous, but I don't think it was necessary.This response received a 1 because:The student provides a reasonable answer that the modified airplane is not a good idea because Gupta is instilling false hopes and dreams in poor families. But no textual evidence is provided to support this idea.c) Students received a twoI think Gupta's modified airplane is a good idea because it will help people reach a goal. " We want people to have a good time, to inspire them so that kids can see that if they study hard they might become a pilot." This shows that kids will use this to help them reach their goal in their career. Even if they don't want to be a pilot, they will learn that studying hard will help you reach your goals.This response received a 2 because:The student presents a reasonable answer with relevant textual evidence and a clear explanation of how their evidence supports their answer. They need to work on their transitions and clarity.Gupta's modified airplane is a good idea because it shows people how flying on an airplane really works. "Passengers check in, receive boarding passes, and climb a steep metal staircase to enter the plane. Flight attendants then run them through the safety procedures, serve snaps and cool drinks, and answer any questions about how the aircraft works." All of this is done as if the people are on a real plane.This response received a 2 because:The student provides a reasonable answer that the modified airplane is a good idea because it allows people to experience the process of flying without ever leaving the ground. The student provides a quote to prove their answer and explanation to explain how the quote proves their answer. Student could use better transitions and a clearer explanation.d) Students received a threeIn my opinion, Gupta's modified airplane is a very positive concept. "Poor villagers and students can visit free." So, with no economic worries, they might decide to take the opportunity and board a plane, which will later on pay off with the knowledge and motivation they will gain experiencing flight procedures. Gupta says, "we want people to have a good time, to inspire them, so that kids see if they study hard they might become a pilot. This wonderful experience gives the passengers a change to dream and realize that with some effort, you can become whatever you want.Student received a 3 because:Student presents a reasonable response that disadvantaged people who are able to experience this opportunity will dream for a better future. This is supported with multiple quotes throughout the text. The explanation is clear and concise. ................
