Titles
- Titles should captivate the reader
- Show what you are arguing or going to be discussing

Can some give off some examples of their titles?

Works Cited Page

- Located at the end of the paper (on a new page)
- Needs to be listed in alphabetic order
- Needs to be double spaced and 12 point font times new roman

Capitalizing
- Lets go through this paragraph and focus on what needs to be capitalized

The second reason why cellphones could be used as a resource. An article "40 use of

smartphones in school" states, "Both students and teachers can now find facts within

seconds." That shows students can improve on their facts. Another example from article "As

school lifts bans on cellphones, educators pros and cons" states, "after they allowed

cellphones to be in there school they learned it was a good resource." This shows how people

are see seeing how cellphones will be a better resource. Using a cellphone as a resource

could help the students and teachers.

Commas

- Reading out loud is a good way to see if you need comas in your paper. Whenever you

feel like you need to pause there is most likely going to need a comma

- Lets practice as a class together below

The second reason why phones shouldn't be in classrooms is because of privileges. The article
written by John Tlumacki called "Cellphones in School: A Teaching Tool or Distraction? said
"73% of teens ages 13-17 have or have access to a mobile phone." What that means is it
wouldn't be fair for the 37% of teens who don't have a phone. Also not all students who have a
phone are allowed to bring theirs to school out of fear of it getting stolen. An article released by
WJPS News a stated "Phones would disrupt people trying to learn who don't have a phone. In
other words students who don't have a phone will feel more anxious about getting one. Those
are all reasons why privileges make it unfair for phones to be in class, it is only fair that no
phones should be in class.

Transitions:
 - As a class, lets add some transitions to this paragraph:
Frist, Cell phones can be used to capture schoolwork. The article by Andrea Leyden, "40

Uses for Smartphones in School" states It can be used to take pictures in class." You can take a

picture of some notes you did not finish writing. Can take pictures of school and homework. The

article, As Schools Lift Bans on Cell Phones, Educators Weigh Pros and Cons" States, you can

record class for a reference." You can go back on a lesson you did not understand. Go back on

what you forgot on that lesson. This shows how cell phones can capture schoolwork in class.
