Becca's persuasive essay

     I am here to present my case on why teachers should be paid more, and 

here are the three reasons why- it isn't an easy job, teachers provide education
we need, and they are extremely helpful.

     First, it isn't an easy job. Often teachers have to educate rambunctious and  prob-

lematic children who don't learn very well and these teachers are sometimes
expected to work miracles. The often have infinite patience and always set out
to find the best ways for a child to work.
     Furthermore, teachers provide the education we need- badly. To thrive, we all need to kn-

ow basic concepts of cost and expenses, not to mention business concepts and

how to evaluate a situation. It's kind of impossible to survive without these things
in such a tough economy.

      Finally, teachers are extremely helpful and often provide the confidence and self-

esteem boost we all need once in a while. And they are amazing at explaining
things. For example, take a kid who doesn't like multiplication and has to learn
it times three- three digit multiplication.When a teacher can explain something
like this in a way that makes sense, it's like magic.
     I hope you take my findings into account and consider giving teachers more
pay and more say. Other people should care about this because being a teacher isn't
easy( although we think it is), teachers are the cornerstone of education, and
they boost our self-esteem.

Film Class is Important: A Persuasive Argument

Many people don’t think that filming class is important, but I’ve come to think it is crucial for academics. We could incorporate language arts which would put us in better moods , and help shyer kids come out of their shell.

       First we could incorporate language arts into our filmmaking. We could film ourselves working to put it on the blog. This would make us work harder because anyone could see it. Then we would do better in school and have fun at the same time. Kids might say their not okay with this, but only kids who wanted to do it would do it.

       

        Furthermore it would also put us in better moods because we would be having fun. Study’s show that the children in better moods are the most productive. If I was in a bad mood I wouldn’t work very well. Wouldn’t you. I wouldn’t. You might think if we were having fun we might be act silly or energetic. We might, but over all we would be more productive.

        Finally, it would help shy kids become more outgoing. It would be good for them because they wouldn’t just do nothing. Also they would have more fun and be more willing to try new things. Over all this would really help shy kids.

         Other people should care about filmmaking because it helps kids in many, many ways. Filmmaking  is a fun way to express yourself and depending on the film, it can help you learn a lot. I hope you put a little more film into your day.

How to Survive in a Desert

First, if you don't have water, find some by cutting or breaking a cactus leaf. There might be some water in there.

After, you may get hot and you get so sweaty, but sweat can sometimes cool you off.

Then, if you get cold, you can make a fire by rubbing rocks together.

And finally capture animals to make friends if you are lonely.


How to Be a Clown

A clown is a person that acts silly, wears funny clothes and big shoes, and they paint their faces.

First, learn jokes that are funny. Also learn pranks like the hand buzzer.

Next, learn how to ride a unicycle while juggling balls and making balloon animals is important.

After, it is time to create my clown character and buy a costume.
