You'll need to pick a side on this argument, and then back up your position with support and examples. If you do that, then we can give you suggestions on how to make your arguments stronger and so on.
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "student homework disadvantage advantage" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

Yeah, get supports and evidences. I'll tell you my opinion on this argument, and helpfully that stimulate your ideas. One way of doing this is to start a survey and ask people their opinions.
I think pupils should have homework because
1) it lets them know if they're actually understanding the materials covered in class and thus know how much they still need to study and what they still don't understand so they can be more prepared for a test.
2) some easy points to get - easy way to improve your grade. Homeworks are easier than tests because it's open-book and you have plenty of time to work on.
3) most teachers encourage group work (depend on what type of assignment and what class it is), having homework encourage you to work with others and learn to work within a group and thus enhance learning ability.
Okay, that's just my opnions. There're a few more advantages but I'll just say 3 here. Good luck with this assignment and have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING BREAK!
