Better Camera for the Newspaper
We need to keep up with the latest technology to ensure the excellence of our campus newspaper. The newspaper doesn’t currently have a professional-quality camera, so I would like to propose that we purchase a more sophisticated. high-tech camera for our photographers to use. The photos we currently print in the newspaper don’t look nice because they are grainy and low-quality, and buying a high-quality camera would allow us to fix the problem. We have some additional funds left in our newspaper budget, and using the money to purchase a new camera like this would be the best way to improve the quality of our reporting.
Sincerely, Rebecca Morrison

Hurdle Help
When students are learning new skills or trying to complete new tasks. teachers generally encourage them to try to complete the tasks independently. However, a particular obstacle or portion of the task may be impossible for them to overcome without assistance, and thus students may become frustrated and stop trying. In such situations, teachers may use the technique of hurdle help, in which the teacher performs a particularly challenging part of a task for students, and then allows the students to complete the rest of the task independently. This ensures that students are able to complete the task and helps control students’ classroom behavior.
Explain how the example from the lecture illustrates the concept of hurdle help.
