Me and my partner read "Texan's Mario Williams will miss rest season".If there weren't pictures people wont know what sport Mario Williams plays.It just says he got ijured and not play for the rest of the season.Also so people will know what Mario Williams looks like.Also people wouldn't understand what sacking means if the picture doesn't show a football player.

Me and my partner read "Texans Mario Williams Will miss rest season" If there wasn't any pictures we wouldn't know how Mario Williams looks like and we wouldn't know what sport he is playing and show the mario Williams who plays football andnot any Mario Williams.Thats why pictures are important.

Photographs helps us understand better because if we dont understand what it says we can look at the picture. For an exaple it said that Josh Freemen made a touch down and the picture helped know who he is and what he did to make the touch down.the picture showed that he dived to make the touch down and he was about to fall. The article we read was buccaneers rally to drop struggling colts to 0-4.another exaple is with the illustration it really wont help us because we wont really understand the illustration because it wont really look like what they wanted to draw and we wont understand it either so thats why pictures are helpful.

Me and my partner read the article called Buccaneers rally to drop struggling Colts to 0-4. The pictures helped me understand the text better because it shows him making a touchdown. It shows me how he made the touchdown. The player is falling into the endzone.

The artical we read was Buccaneers rally to drop strggling colts to 0-4 the picture helped us because we wouldent now how he made the touchdown. Another reason that it helped us was how do people make touchdowns
