6. 

Three pointer- A shot taken behind the three point line (a half circle around the basket)

Layup-A shot taken at a very close range, where the player just jumps up and tosses the ball in the basket using one hand.

Crossing up- When you dribble the ball from one hand to the other and make the person defending you think you're going one way, but you go the other way and fake them out.

7. One basketball cliche is "They shoot well from downtown." A more understandable non-cliche version of this saying could be: They make a lot of shots from far away."

8. An athlete who is a legend for setting records in my sport is Lebron James. Lebron James was born in Akron, Ohio. Lebron went to St. Vincent-St. Mary high school. Lebron played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat. Some records he's broken are, youngest player to reach 24,000 points, and the most assists in Cav's history.

Long Response:

I think guns should be controlled more strictly because obviously there is a problem if an 18 year old boy, with a history of mental health issues, is able to buy an AR-15. I think many people in Austin would support more gun control because Austin is a very liberal city. I think the AR-15 should be banned because of the high-capacity magazine. You shouldn't be able to own a weapon that can fire off 30 shots repeatedly without stopping to reload. I've heard both sides of the argument when talking to people, but my family and I are all firm believers in stricter gun control. I would actively participate in trying to make schools safer because that is the thing that is most relevant to me.

Front Pages of the World

1. I really liked the front page for the Austin-American Statesman because I am kind of biased since I live in Austin, and I like it because it's an Austin newspaper.
2. My favorite headline from the newspapers was the one where they were pointing out that Trump was at his golf course instead of dealing with a crisis. This is good because it's nice to count on a news source to tell me what the president is doing.

Long Response:
The company making cell phone sleeves is called Yondr. There are currently 600 American high schools using Yondr. The concept behind the pouches is to lock up phones for a certain amount of time so that people aren't using their phones at parties, school, etc... At San Lorenzo HS, there were a lot of positive results that came from schools using Yondr, including better grades, less discipline issues, and more students interacting. I think the pouches could be useful at school, and maybe at social gatherings or shows so that people aren't distracted while at an event. I wouldn't actually mind that much if Bowie stopped using phones at school because I went without my phone for about a month at one point during the year, and although there were some communication issues, it didn't affect my happiness. I think that people will probably discover that constantly being on their phones cheapens life and will try to limit usage.

Long Response:
This article is essentially explaining why the World Health Organization is officially labeling video game addiction a disease. The article then goes on to explain the addictive nature of video games, and how kids can limit screen time to reduce the effect it has on young, developing brains. According to the article, you are probably addicted to gaming if you do it in place of other interests and activities, if you experience an inability to quit, or if you continue to game despite having negative consequences. According to the article, an addiction is a habit that you develop that soon starts to control your life, that you can't quit, and you begin to do it very frequently. Honestly, and I might be a little biased here, being a gamer myself, I think that games are fun and are a great way to spend a little bit of time if your bored. I never get addicted because if I game for too long, I start to get bored of it and become restless to get out and move around. I do, of course, play video games, and although I have many games that I like, I think the one that I most enjoy is Player Unknowns Battlegrounds, especially on PC. My little brother, actually, isn't so much addicted to games as he is addicted to screens. He is constantly looking at the computer, and when he isn't looking at a screen, you can tell he is itching to get back online. According to the article, parents should limit their children to 1 or 2 hours a day, and have them go do other things like socialize.
