...Cell Phone Should Be Allowed in Class If you visit most American colleges these days, what will you see? Cell phones. Almost all American students have cell phones and they always use them in class. Should cell phones be allowed in class? Cell phones should be allowed in class because students’ family might call with an emergency and cell phones can provide a convenient way to study in class. The first reason is students’ family might call with an emergency. According to the newspaper The New York Times, “Parents think of cell phones as a connection to their children in an emergency. If cell phones are not allowed in class, parents only can call the school's main office to reach their children” (Scaccia). In other words, cell phones should be allowed in class as if there is any emergency case that parents can easily inform their children. And it also helps after school time, so if children have any transport problem they can inform their parents. Other than this, if they have to stay at school after the school time is over for any type of anticipation, they can inform their parents. Students should have the right to bring a cell phone to school because it is really convenient for emergencies. To summarize, cell phones can help students contact with their parents in an emergency. The second reason is cell phones can provide a convenient way to study in class. According to the news website Time, “74% of those students say they would likely use their phones to check grades...

The wealthy or aristocracy class ruled the early Republic. The highest leaders in the government were the two consuls, they ruled the Roman Republic. The senate were put together of patricians. These patricians elected the two consuls that ruled the Roman Republic ("The Roman Republic", 2008). The lower class citizens in the Roman Republic had almost no say in the government of the Roman Republic. Even though both men and woman were citizens of the Roman Republic. Only the men were allowed to vote. Tradition made sure that the lower class people and the wealthy were to be separated ("The Roman Republic", 2008). There were not allowed to be any marriages between the wealthy and the lower class. Eventually the lower class people elected their own representatives which were called tribunes ("The Roman Republic", 2008).

...Roberts’s Jazz 1 class at a dance studio. However, it is important to have basic knowledge of Swain’s credentials. Tom Roberts holds a BFA in Theatre from Salem State University. He has been teaching, choreographing, and performing since 1997. His teachings include Jazz 1 and Musical Theatre Dance at University of Massachusetts Boston, and Hip-Hop Fusion at Tufts University. He also teaches Jazz-Funk at the Dance Complex in Cambridge, MA and is the artistic director and choreographer of his own dance company. When observing the beginning of Robert’s Jazz 1 class, I noticed he likes to start his dance classes with a slow warm-up. His slow warm-up involved movements of the head and loosening of the neck. He then moved into shoulder and arm rotations before lying down onto the floor. When on the floor, he put a lot of emphasis on the lower abs with crunches and great emphasis on the legs and inner thighs with stretches. After the slow warm-up, he had the class go into a really fast warm-up that involved a lot of aerobics for the body. The movements in his fast warm-up put strong emphasis on leg and arm work with the rhythm of the music. The fast warm-up to the rhythm of the music created a fun environment for the whole class. After the warm-up, the class including myself, felt ready and energized for the choreography. The choreography in Robert’s Jazz 1 class is challenging, but comfortable for any dancer level. When a student struggled with a certain move, he allowed for the entire...
