Blog Question Homework - Due by Midnight on November 6th

Every two weeks, students are required to write an editorial. These writing assignments are usually created by Mrs. Birnkrant and help students practice a variety of skills including problem solving, sequencing, exploring cause and effect, comparing and contrasting, and more.


What are two editorials that you would like to write? Explain your two ideas clearly! Please be sure to write your name with your entry.

One topic i would like to write about is how to solve the problem of gang violence such as gang related fights. My second topic would be to tell who your best friend is and what are some of the conflicts that come about.

Two editorials that I would like to write are first, one about how the state is including E.S.L student's grades on the New York State test's, and using them in the school's average. This is not fair because many kids have just came from different countries and don't know much English, so it is not fair that they have to take the same test's as kids that have been in America all their lives!! Also, I would like to write an editorial on helping the environment. This is because the environment is in need of help because there is so much pollution in the world and we need to start changing our ways and helping save our planet.

One editorial i would like to write about is about school renovation. I would like to write about school renovation because they always say that our school is getting renovated , but never does. Another editorial i would like to write about is why we should start fundraising for our 8th grade field trip now instead of later in the year. i would like to write an editorial about this because last year the former 8th graders started raising money late and they didn't go on the greatest 8th grade field trip.

One editorial that I would like to write about is the whether or not the school anouncments are necessary. I would write about it because most of the students and some teachers think that the school anouncments are unecessary. The other editorial I would like to write about is that why do we get homework on Fridays. This is the most stressful thing that I have to deal with on the weekends because the weekends are there so you can relax from school and we already get enough homework as it is.

One Editorial I would to write is about bullying because when many kids come from other country, kids just think that they can just make fun of them because they speak another language and they can't under stand what they saying.Also I would like to write about the 8th grade field trip because last year the former 8th grader's waited until the last minute to raise
money, so i think we should start NOW and get it all our shoulder so later on we have the money to choose where to go to.

One editorial I would like to write is what you would do if you won a million dollars. I would like to write about this because people always ask the question "What would you do if you won the lottery?" so I think that would be interesting to write about. Another editorial I would like to write is if you think they need to announce anouncements and why they have so many announments. I think this would be a good editorial because I think that the amount of annoucements the office makes is disrupting our classes.

Do students need education? This is an editorial that I would like to write because students need to understand why it is important to learn and get an education. If you really understand education you can do what you want, and have a better life. You will also be more wealthy with an education. The second editorial I would write would be How students can find a job easily? I would write this because maybe students dont know how to find a job or even where to begin looking for a job.

One editorial I would like to write is Why Do We Have So Many Announcements? Nobody seems to agree with the announcements we have, except for the morning ones. All they do is annoy people and interrupt classes. Another editorial I would like to write is Why Is There A Lot Of Homework On Somedays And Very Little On Others? This is hard on students. Some days homework takes it forever and others there's not much at all. It should be balanced.

One editorial I would like to write about is ways we could improve our school and make it a better place, so that kids would want to come to school all the time without it being question. I would also want to write an editorial about why do we only have four half days this school year. I would want to write about this because this affects many people lives in many ways.

An editorial that i would enjoy writing would be an editorial about how going to H.W. Smith is a great experience for children. I think this would be an interesting editorial to write about because, H.W. Smith is not like other schools. Its a combination of all different races and religions . Its a great learning experience. Going to H.W. Smith school , helps you socially & educationally. It helps you to treat others as equals & not discriminate because of weight, religion, race, physical features, etc. I think it would be great to spread the amazing learning experiences that H.W. Smith has to offer so others can recognize and appreciate what they are trying to do for society.

An editorial I would like to write about is how can schools improve? Can lunch be better and have more of variety of different foods and snacks? How can the teachers improve in school? Does their teaching need to be thought a different way? Can the environment of the schools improve? This is a important subject since the health and student academical achievements should improve further.

Another idea for an editorial can be about what opportunities we would like as a student? Could we have more advance classes? Should there be more sport activities to enroll for. This should be important to students because if you are talented in (a) certain sport(s) you can get a scholarship for college and may change their future into a brighter road. These are just two ideas of what our editorial can be in the future.

Out of a collection of ideas regarding the subject of the editorials given, a select two that I have are about the media's effects on society both negatively and positively. People, especially teenagers are exposed to thousands of images, messages, and expectations put out by the media daily. For a student to express their views either (or both) of these ideas, they would grasp an understanding the influence of some daily occurrences.
