FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).

The article cites that expectations on teens in school are “unprecedented”. Those parents expect so much from their teens because they know that are many kids with the same goals as any other teen.

Then it cites that no matter who you are or what you do that is not going to help you as much as you think it is going to help you. It also says that there is a place for everyone and a college for every teen

It also says that the teen’s year set the way their future is going to be. That there is not any reason why they should not have a social life but just as long they do not go off their path. That there is no need to have extracurricular activates to become such a big part of their high school just that it can look good.

Another big thing that might affect teens to have a lot of pressure is the fact that there can be some bullying involved. Besides that, kids start to freak out because they heard that there was another school shooting close by and they feel that school is not a safe environment to be around therefore they feel like they have to think twice.

It also cites about the fact there its not so good have pressure wiether it come from their parents or teacher or even themselves. There is some “good” pressure that we should have just to keep out eyes on the prize but to the point where they get burnout.

 Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):

The main point of this source is that no matter what teens do to succeed the high expectation that there is; there is always going to be a place for them in any college. it also says that some teens may need to have a little bit of pressure but just to keep them on top of their schoolwork and no so much to stress them out. That there may be a lot of other reason why they have a lot of pressure in school such as bullying.

FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).

the article talks  about how Samantha Brix went to a showing in an auditorium and asked the people who saw the documentry what there opinons were on it. a lot of people had some what the same reaction." handful of the nearly 70 community residents who filled the auditorium to view the movie commented and asked questions...Many agreed with a number of issues raised in the film"

there is one spacific girl who has a lot of thing going for her, Maddie Massa, what samantha does is talks about her first before she talk abou t what other people thought about the doc.

most of the people that she sees that went to the showing of the doc. were staff at different schools. teacher and principels had agree to what the doc. was showing."Marie Lindell, a parent and vice president of the Board of Education" and even higher positions.

im not sure about what viedo that they are talking about but Im going to find out so I can use It for one of my resouses, but what i get out of eveyone opinon is the face they they talk about how much homework we should have, "  Marie Lindell, a parent and vice president of the Board of Education, said the district should re-evaluate the type of homework that is assigned — homework she called rote and unnecessary in some cases." some teachers give out to much homework that make students stress out alot.

they also touch on the point of having to many tests on the same day. therefor it make students feel more strees out beacuse not only so they have to study for one test but many others on the same day," as a student slammed with multiple tests on the same day can trigger a great deal of stress." says one of the mothers that went to see the film. she sees that her children streee out alot and they get to a point were they dont care anymore.

 Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):

Samantha tries to get her point across to people who have something to do with education, wiether it has to be a mom or someone on the bord of education. She makes a good move by showing a film to many diffrenet people who have something to do with education. Many of the cited work that she has are from people who had a comment on the film that she showed.
