I chose to use my argumentative essay about homework for my remix #1 because I still stand strongly with these my beliefs on this subject. I believe that students are given an excessive amount of homework every night, ultimately leading them to failure in school. Homework adds a significant amount of stress to students, especially when most of them dedicate the majority of their time to extracurriculars.
I chose to make a short film based off of this essay to show people the daily life of a student with too much homework. In this film, the student gets home from school already in tears from the stress that is yet to come. She runs to the front door and collapses onto the ground. She then remembers the work she has to do and frantically throws her homework onto a table and starts working. The student falls asleep around 4:00 AM with her unfinished work laying on top of her. This lifestyle is incredibly unhealthy, and something needs to change.
