They Say, I Say #7 "Skeptics May Object"

 1. After reading a few articles, I have concluded that most of the articles used "who cares" questions as they were an important part in setting their arguments. Compared to the ones who used "who cares" questions, the articles I read that didn't use them were a little hard to keep interested in and some of their main points were left unexplained. The authors who used the questions mostly just stated why their argument and claims actually mattered to what is happening in the real world today or how it can affect people's lives. One technique I could use for my own essays is to demonstrate why my claims should be important to the readers. What I would suggest to the authors of the articles that "who cares" questions is to try to least point out why their arguments are relevant.

2. For this exercise, I will use my essay about single-sex schooling as an example. For this essay, I do not think I did a good job at stating the "who cares" questions. To do a better job at this, I could've added something like: My point that single-sex schools are better than coeducational schools should interest students and parents alike because these findings have important implications for the broader domain America's education system and how students will learn the best.
