Command of Evidence – SET 1 Welcome to your Command of Evidence - SET 1 1. Some residents in a neighborhood in Atlanta recently founded a community garden inside a local park. The residents agreed to volunteer to take care of the garden together. Students at a local high school surveyed some of the volunteers as part of a project to understand the impact of the new garden. The students concluded that the new garden benefited the community overall by fostering connections and relationships between the volunteers and other residents of the neighborhood who weren’t volunteering at the garden. Which quotation from a survey respondent would best illustrate the students’ conclusion? “Our first challenge was deciding what plants would be most suitable to the climate and soil here in Atlanta. We needed plants that could survive the hot and humid summers.” “My favorite thing about the garden is the feeling of pride I get when I walk by each day. As I see the plants growing, I feel good knowing I had a small part in creating this beautiful space in the neighborhood.” “I love getting the opportunity to be outside and around nature, especially on days when the weather is nice.” “We’re lucky to have a few expert gardeners living in the neighborhood. Some volunteers and I have gone to them a few times with questions, and they’ve been eager to help us and to learn more about the project.” None 2.

Hip-hop pedagogy is a form of teaching that’s gaining popularity across school subjects. It involves incorporating hip-hop and rap music into lessons as well as using hip-hop elements when teaching other subject matters. For example, Quan Neloms’s students look for college-level vocabulary and historical events in rap songs. Researchers claim that in addition to developing students’ social justice awareness, hip-hop pedagogy encourages student success by raising students’ interest and engagement. Which finding, if true, would most strongly support the underlined claim? Students tend to be more enthusiastic about rap music than they are about hip-hop music. Courses that incorporate hip-hop and rap music are among the courses with the highest enrollment and attendance rates. Educators report that they enjoy teaching courses that involve hip-hop and rap music more than teaching courses that don’t. Students who are highly interested in social justice issues typically don’t sign up for courses that incorporate hip-hop and rap music. None 4.
