DUE SOON! Make sure to make it looks like a 7th grader wrote it! PLEASE CITE YOUR SOURCES!
Write a speech of at least 500 (Can be 250) words arguing for the use of videogames for learning in the classroom. Provide compelling reasons in support of your position using information from at least three credible sources.
All of your sources should be correctly cited, using the MLA format for in-text citations and providing a works-cited list
I'll get you started :)
Videogames can be useful for in-class or online teaching. Using video games in class can be beneficial to the teachers and students alike. Teachers can briefly explain the unit, and students --using the videogame of their teacher's choice-- can click on different options to simplify the topic to their learning level so they understand the material. Video games can be used as a learning tool, but also can motive the students aswell.
For sources, I would check out Newsela and maybe a few sites that end in .org, or .edu. you should still fact-check it, and make sure your information lines up.
A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski
Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?
If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.
A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.
You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.
Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.
This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.
You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.
Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.
What is the main point of the paragraph that begins "This honesty comes from…" in "A Big Year"?
A "Big Year" offers many rewards beyond winning.
Beautiful and amazing birds are worthy of searching out.
Birds come in many shapes and colors.
Breaking records tends to keep people honest.

Mathilde, who is married to a humble clerk,
is unhappy with her middle-class life. In an
attempt to appear rich and glamorous, she
borrows a diamond necklace from a friend
but ends up misplacing it. The struggle to
pay for the lost necklace traps Mathilde in
a life of poverty.
An Estonian proverb says, “Who does
not thank for little will not thank for

What do you think are Paylor's motives in allowing Katniss to come face to face with Snow?
AKA: Hunger Games
Answer:
{hello kirito here i believe your answer is}-
Explanation:
Commander Paylor's early life is unknown, however, as a resident of District 8, she most likely worked in the district's textile factories like most other citizens.
Katniss first meets Paylor when she goes to District 8's hospital in order to film a propo for the Airtime Assault on the Capitol. Paylor takes Katniss along with Gale Hawthorne, Boggs, and the TV crew into the hospital. Paylor watches Katniss closely, to see what she is made of and if they have been right to count on her.
Paylor in District 8.
After Katniss leaves the hospital, hovercrafts from the Capitol fly in and begin to bomb the hospital. In an effort to fight against the bombers, Katniss and Gale climb to the roof of a warehouse that has machine gun nests. This is where they run into Commander Paylor again. Together, they all work to destroy the other waves of hovercrafts that fly overhead.
Commander Paylor later returns in the story when Katniss is living in President Snow's mansion, awaiting his execution. Katniss follows the strong scent of Snow's roses until she finds a room that is being guarded by two soldiers who at first do not permit her entrance to the room because they are following President Coin's orders. However, when Paylor appears, she instructs the soldiers to let Katniss go in and they obey her authority. Katniss enters to find President Snow and the two of them have a brief conversation. Snow informs Katniss that it was not him who bombed the children and ultimately killed Prim, but that instead it was President Coin who was behind it. When Katniss emerges, Paylor asks her, "Did you find what you were looking for?", and Katniss holds up rose, which Paylor takes as an affirmative response. This seems to imply that Paylor was somehow aware of Coin's betrayal and wanted Katniss to find out.

Most teachers surveyed support the need for more recess time for their students.
Seventy-eight percent of students improved their test scores when they were given extra recess time.
Answer: Students who have more recess will have no behavior problems in the classroom.

The first statement can be proven true. It is fact without bias.
The second statement contains a fallacy. Recess CAN reduce negative behavior in class, but not cut it out completely. Therefore, this statement is a logical fallacy, specifically an overgeneralization.

How much flour does he have left after he makes the sheet cake?
how many cups?
Answer:
125 Cups
Explanation:
423+514=937
937-812=125
The baker has 125 cups of flour left after making the sheet cake.

Cue the marchers, take a stand, nonviolence, jail time is the best list of categories for an idea web about Cynthia Levinson’s We’ve Got a Job. Hence, option A is correct.
What is nonviolence?Nonviolence is the practice of never purposefully hurting another person. It might be connected to a general anti-violence viewpoint, or it might result from the notion that doing harm to people, animals, or the environment is not necessary to achieve a goal.
Voluntary suffering has the power to enlighten and transform, according to nonviolence. Nonviolence freely accepts the outcomes of its acts. Through nonviolence without retaliation, suffering is embraced. Nonviolence never employs violence; it just accepts it when necessary.
Tactics include protests, boycotts, sit-ins, civil disobedience, and alternative institutions. Empirically, it has been shown that nonviolent resistance is twice as effective at attaining significant political goals as armed confrontation.
Thus, option A is correct.
