Argument #1 Positive studying skills
Figuring what kind of learner we are, and finding ways to study that work for us.
Using what we know to make flashcards for vocabulary.
Using the homework we got as review for our tests.
Thesis Statement
Teachers should give homework because homework improves our positive studying skills, encourages us to use our time wisely, and improves our thinking and memory.
Argument #3 Homework improves our thinking and memory
Homework causes us to think about new learning and old learning, a great form of memory rehearsal.
Homework helps us bring back the knowledge of what we learned during the school day or in that unit, it helps us try and remember what we have learned.
It also helps us to think back into what we have learned and forming it into our own ways, this is an example of long-term memory.
Argument #2 Encourages us to use our time wisely.
If we don't figure out a time to do our homework we'll end up doing it last minute and it'll be very stressful
If we don't figure out time management when we're younger when we start having real jobs it'll be beyond difficult.
It prepares us to be efficient and use our time wisely.
