Thesis statement:
 Because so many teens are preoccupied with movies and
 music, educators must incorporate media into their
 classroom lessons.
 Conclusion paragraph:
 As stated earlier, teachers can teach poetry through the
 use of song lyrics and teach persuasion by having
 students watch television advertisements. However, if
 teachers are to use such teaching methods, schools will
 need to increase their spending on media equipment. No
 matter what the cost - in dollars or time - using media in
 the classroom will enable students to learn more
 effectively.
