Reason #1 paragraph
Is homework worthwhile?
Not at all and I will prove that homework is worthwhile. Because it may be pointless.

CITE (3) EXPLAIN (ANALYSIS): Homework is pointless

(TRANSITION): So what I am saying
(LEAD-IN): In the article, ‘Students are
spending more time studying at home, but is
that a good thing?’ it states,
because it can add more things for the child
to do. It says it can harden your brain while
that is true there is sometimes a different
kind of “Chemical” reaction in the kids brain
to make the homework time more longer and
more fatigue.

(ANALYSIS): In the quote it states keeps kids

(QUOTE): “Homework keeps kids from
attending after school sports/clubs and many
more.”
(#): ( readworks 3 )
from attending after school sports/clubs. it
can make the child stressed that they did not
go to practice/club activity they might of
made for the kids ( story of mine one time I
was leading my club in canada and I made a
after school event and I missed it because of
my homework )

(ANALYSIS): In middle school it's one of the

most important school years of all and the
homework we have can help you get into a
good college. Let me demonstrate a middle
school child with homework. “ Ok (Name)
time to get this done but did I forget
something at school?” * The kid starts to
search around the house for the object
he/she lost. “ Darn cant find it maybe after
work but no did I make my bed today? Oh
well darn I did not. “ An exact example of
what goes on.
 So that is what goes on in the head of a kid with homework/ That is why homework is
pointless
