students) elementary ESL class. The students in
this class ranged from second grade up to fifth
grade and all are fairly fluent in English, but
come from homes that use Spanish as the primary
language. The day began with a rehearsal of a play
this class will be performing for the first
graders. This play calls for the children to read,

The Case For The Existence of God by John Doe, Ph.
D. Introduction Either God exists or He doesn't.
There is no middle ground. Any attempt to remain
neutral in relation to God's existence is
automatically synonymous with unbelief. It is far
from a "moot" question, for if God does exist,
then nothing else really matters; if He does not
exist, then nothing really matters at all. If He
does exist, then there is an eternal heaven to be
gained (Hebrews 11: 16) and an eternal Hell to be
avoided (Revel...

Book Banning Is Bad For Students
1,543 words
Should people be able to deny a students freedom
to read any book they wish to in a school? Every
time adults ban a book, kids lose the chance to
gain knowledge from that work of literature. The
students outlook on the world becomes narrower as
they lose access to an insightful point of view.
Book censors can only give unreasonable and
unjustifiable motives for banning books to
validate their cause. In the end, the actions of
the people who ban books create many negative
effects on students. The...
