Should schools be year round where kids go to school the entire year and have very little breaks or should they be on a semester basis where there is a winter break, spring break, and summer break.

Review Template B
Since I am reviewing the Sports Illustrated magazine I will be basing my review on four requirements. The first requirement would be the magazine has to have interesting articles about all sports so more people will read the magazine and be interested in it. The second requirement would be the articles are not too long to read because then it would lose the interest of the reader and it becomes more of a book. Some of the better articles in the magazines are the shorter ones. The third requirement for the Sports Illustrated magazine would be it must have good quality pictures. The pictures must be really good to catch the reader’s eye and make them want to read that article. I think the best articles in the magazine are the ones with a lot of pictures that show what they are talking about in that article. The front of the magazine should have a catchy picture about the main article in the magazine. The fourth requirement for the magazine would be to make the articles fun to read for everyone of every age. The article should also be relatable to what is going on in the world today and how sports contributes or how it relates to it. Those are the four requirements I will use to review the magazine Sports Illustrated.

Audience Analysis, Template A
I think the audience for the magazine Sports Illustrated is men and women who like sports. They do not have to like a specific sport, just any or all sports. I think the people that read the magazine the most are men of all ages. People who read this magazine want to know more about what is going on in the sports world and follow that sport. This magazine also has articles about how sports relate to what else is going on in the world, for example, a while back they had an article about how the economic downturn affected the sports industry and the teams in every sport. It was good because it related to something other than just sports and a lot of people could relate to the topic of the economic downturn. The friends of the people that read this magazine are also into sports because they have a common interest with that person. Most of the information in this magazine is real and people believe the things in the magazine. There are also many different ads in this magazine. There are ads about everything from clothing to prescription/over the counter drugs to cigarettes to cars. I see a lot more of ads about prescription/over the counter drugs and cars more than anything. The reason is because since more men read this magazine, they think more men will also be interested in cars and maybe want a new car just because it was in the magazine or because they think professional sports athletes drive these cars or because these are cars that men would like. I think they put prescription/over the counter drug ads in the magazine because a lot of the drugs they advertise are for men. For example they have ads for Viagra and other drugs that guys use. There are also a lot of ads for cigarettes and tobacco because it is a manly thing to use chewing tobacco and smoking cigarettes. The only ads for clothes I have seen have been for men's suits and for jeans for men and in those ads for jeans the people in the ad are playing some sport or have a famous athlete promoting those jeans and they think more men will buy this product just because some famous athlete wears them. I also think the ads are geared toward all ages of men because I don't think younger men use Viagra and I don't think that older men would care about a certain car or jeans just because a famous athlete wears those jeans or drives that type of car. Also, this magazine is not just for people who are rich bit for everyone who is interested in sports in general. People who read Sports Illustrated are less likely to also read magazines such as People or Entertainment Weekly, I think they would read other magazine such as ESPN the Magazine so they could compare the two main sports magazines. That is who I think the audience would be that read the Sports Illustrated magazine.

Review Invention
My idea for the review assignment is to review a magazine. The magazine is Sports Illustrated. The magazine covers and has articles about all different sports. I will rate it out of 5 starts. 5 being the best and 1/0 being the worst.

Thesis paragraph
There are many trends and phenomenons here at the University of Central Florida but the one that involves the majority of the people here is the wide use of skateboards and long boards. Many people use skateboards and long boards to get around campus and the school is trying to ban the use of them because it could be a safety risk to other people. There are many different opinions about this issue and I plan to find out what people around campus think about this issue and how it affects them now and in the future. The issue of the school banning the use of skateboards and long boards could change many things around campus.
