Long and Short Vowels

Why oh why do we need to know which is a long vowel sound and which is a short vowel sound.
I haven't used this information since elementary school.  So when I am sitting and helping Mia with her homework, she is teaching me the sounds of a long u and a short u and we are trying to find pictures of examples of long u and short u.  I actually had to google a long u examples so that we could find some in the homework picture.

We put x's on the short u and circles on the long u.

Can you find all the vowel sounds?
