EXAMPLE

• Do you or a friend enjoy video games?
• Is there any element of violence in the game?
• In a recent study 357 seventh and eighth
  grade students were examined as to video game
  playing. The adolescents were asked to identify
  their preference among five categories of video
  games. The two most preferred categories were
  games that involved fantasy and violence,
  preferred by almost 32 of subjects (Funk).

Students Need Rest

• Research shows that you can make yourself more
  alert reduce stress and improve cognitive
  functioning with a nap. Mid-day sleep, or a
  power nap, means more patience, less stress,
  better reaction time, increased learning, more
  efficiency and better health (Britannica).
• Suppose that students get to school at 845
  and go home at 410. That is about 7 hours and
  30 minutes at school. The usual amount homework
  for the typical middle school student takes about
  2 hours! If your in an after school programs
  thats another one hour. Before you go to that
  program you need energy. A healthy and filling
  diner usually takes about an hour. All of this
  schedule leaves no time for power naps and
  leaves students tired when its finally time for
  homework.

EXAMPLE
Buying a School Uniform is Cheaper

• The fear of being un-cool has upended apparel
  shopping habits for the 7.6 billion back to
  school shopping season (Beckham).
• Kids are so worried about how they need the
  coolest and best clothes theyre willing to wait
  until school starts to buy the newest clothes.
  Children all over are spending hundreds of
  dollars on their wardrobes for school.
• If everyone could buy one simple uniform they
  would spend much less money and wouldn't worry
  about their appearance as much as they would if
  they didnt wear uniforms.
