  3. Critical Situation/Problem: Due to financial situation: many public schools cut out art classes It is not healthy for children: They need to exercise their body and mind

  4. Rhetorical Timing: • Economic crisis • No Child Left Behind • The problem is expanding

  5. “They Say:” No Child Left Behind requires all public schools to take end of the year benchmark tests in only reading and math! Causes: schools began to cut or reduce the time spent in art classes trying to prepare students for the annual exams! in a school in Sacramento: “about 125 of the school's lowest-performing students are barred from taking anything except math, reading and gym.” Fox news student’s response: “That's very, very saddening to me. If I didn't have art, I would probably die.”

  6. Community Connection: • Who needs to hear about it? • Parents • School Districts
