Read the following writing prompt. Select the introductory paragraph that BEST answers the question and provides organized reasons that support the opinion.
Should fourth graders have homework on weeknights? Why or why not?
Students should have homework every night during the week for a few reasons. First, homework time each night gives students more practice with the day’s learning. Second, homework gives students something to do and helps keep them out of trouble. Lastly, homework provides students the extra time they may need to finish writing and reading assignments that they couldn’t finish in class.
Students have too much homework. I had to do a project that took me five nights to finish. This is just not fair. Don’t the teachers see that we are tired after a long school day? I can hardly stay awake during class anymore. There is just too much homework to do.
Students should have homework on weeknights. Once in a while, they deserve a break though. For example, on vacation or weekends they might want to spend time with their family or just rest. Watching television is a good way to pass the time. Also, playing board games is fun and challenging. Everyone should try Monopoly.
Students already work too hard. They work all day at school and then they have to do chores when they get home. First they have to help cook dinner, then they have to do the dishes, and then they have to take out the trash. Finally, they have to spend time with their families watching television or playing board games or maybe just talking. There really isn’t enough time to do homework at home.
