      If you were to ask me if homework was really necessary my answer would be yes. If you asked me if we should have as much homework as we do or if should be for a grade, that's a completely different story. I think that schools have a very unfair grading system and are passing out too much homework for students to handle.       Personally, I think that homework relates to a lot of unreasonable amounts of added stress to students. Not only is it taking up time at home, but it's also putting a dent in students' grades.        Homework is designed to be a review and a good practice so that students can memorize whatever topic they are working on. Schools are making homework seem more like projects or tests. Homework assignments in schools today are long worksheets that are counted as grades!      Assignments that teachers are giving out as homework are starting to test what you know by taking a grade on it, instead of teaching it to you. Schools are counting off points

Talk about why it's necessary for people to take your view on this issue into consideration. 2. Using emotions in my writing while also including facts to back up my argument is something that I will remember to do in my writing. 3. -You don't have to include a lot of facts, but make sure the ones that you do use are accurate.      -Watch the usage of the word "I".     - Include a question in your writing.

1.  I had used iMovie once before a while back for a project, although I was doing most of the action while my partner was doing most of the editing, therefore I am not completely familiar with iMovie but I have had experience with it before.

The websites talked about how you could change the length of your video by extending it,or shorten it by shaving off some parts of the video. I also learned that you can add text on some of the videos and you can record your voice over videos. 2.I already knew that you could trim a video. 3.

The nut graf is the most important part/ paragraph of a story. A nut paragraph is a paragraph that follows the opening paragraph (second paragraph). Nut grafs explains all the value and purpose that there is to a story. It can also provide information as to why it's beneficial for the reader to read the story. Nut grafs can create a hook for the reader which increase the reader's interest in the story and allows them to want to keep reading. The nut graph is organized to inform readers what was, what's new, and what's now. A good nut graf is used to guide the reader through the story. It is important that the nut graph doesn't give away the ending to a story because if that happens the reader might lose their desire to read the rest of the story.

Part 1: Sports Portfolios 1. Runner Up Videos Photographer: Jordan Murph Focus of portfolio: Sports 3 problems: -   Some pictures aren't strong enough and were too plain. He put too many pictures in portfolio and some didn't belong in there.  -   One picture captured good motion but it was missing a key part to it which was a person.  - He made his images artificial when there was no need, especially because he already had ones that were similar to it. 2 good things: - Pictures towards the beginning had very good lighting composition. - Some action photos were captured at a good angle with a nice shadow showing in the background. Impression: At first I really liked this photographer and the action that he captured in his photographs and then I realized a lot of images in his portfolio were dull and nothing that made me interested in the picture. Photographer: Sam Adams Focus of portfolio:  Bikers/skating sports 3 problems: - Too many silhouettes and not enou
