Dear Nick,
==Nice job! There are two comments for each presentation. Regarding the Prezi, nice design but please watch your spelling! Did you like using it? Your Voki was terrific but it was supposed to be about the missing boy, Brian Robeson, from our novel. I really like how you put the description right in the news report. Now, apply these skills to your Survival Guide and your Talent21 Project. You can make your own Wikispaces page for each project and embed Voki's and Prezi's to get your ideas across to your reader. Keep up the good work! ==

Nickolas Cardani LAL6 Stard/Smith Period: 7/8 Persuasive essay ** School Recess ** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;"> Is school recess appropriate for middle school? He should have school recess so we can exercise. And teachers should at least let the students outside once in a while. Schools need recess! So teachers can get a break and sit outside for a bit. Also students can have more social time to unwind from their academic day and it is important for students to attend one hour of exercise a day. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;"> Teachers need a Break from the students. Teachers are tired of the same thing every period. If teachers get a break and sit outside most of them won’t be as frustrated. For instance, sometimes the teachers are a little mad and tired of students and they should let students outside. Also teachers can relax and enjoy the fresh air instead of sit and teach all day. Don’t you think that teachers should have a break from the students? <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">Students can have more social time and unwind from their academics. In the school students never get to talk because teachers won’t let them. If we would be able to have recess, I think that all students will be able to function right better in school. A lot of people think that going outside is better than sitting at a desk all day. More social time to talk to friends and take a break from their academics. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;"> Students need one hour of exercise each day. Scincetists have shown that students must get one hour of exercise each day. A lot of kids in schools are overweight because of not exercising. Exercising is the best thing you can do for your body. Overweight people need exercise and it’s the best thing for your body. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;"> Finally, If we could have recess everything will be better in middle school. Teachers will have a break from the students and sit outside instead of sitting and teaching. Student will have more social time and have more friends. Although many people believe that middle school students do not need recess, the majority of the students body feels that an hour of exercise in school every day will keep their bodies in shape. Recess should be added to the middle school schedule.
