feature story on cell phones
OMG!!!i think i got a text from someone!! Cell phones have seem to become a BIG part of everyones life now days. students act like they could never live without them that they would just DIE if they didn't have a cell phone. Schools been having a hard time with students using them in class and talking to their friends.
Are they as big as a problem as teachers think they are why or why not?
Do you think it really effects your work?
what would you do if cell phones were never created?
How long do you think you use your cell phone a day?
how have cell phones changed?
what phone do you think is the most popular?
what cell phone company would you prefer and why?
I interviewed Shawn Wells about what he thinks about cell phones and how he feels about his cell phone.for the first question i asked are cell phones as big as a problem that teachers make them why or why not? "Shawns response was no, they are not because it doesn't distract me teachers just be trippin for no reason it could be a life or death situation!.
"Do you think that cell phones effect your work why or why not? "No, because i still get all my work done most of the time.
"What would you do if cell phones weren't created? "I would prob. always stay in the house all day besides school and make cookies with my mama."with a large smile on his face!
How long do you think you use your cell phone a day? "i think i use it 24/7 i use it all day at school and all night in my bed tell i fall asleep.
"how do you think cell phones have changed?" they used to be all broke down but now they are alot like a computer.
"what cell phone do you think is the most popular and why?" i think that the Rumor is the most popular because they are cheap and they are stylish.
"What cell phone company would you prefer and why would you prefer that one? i would say sprint becuase they have a good plan and they also have good looking phones and they also have servise evertwhere but my room it don't seem to like to much." smiling a little and a small chuckle.
After i interviewed Shawn Wells i went to another person named Darryl Hudson he had a little different point a view about cell phones and feelings about his phone.
the first question are cell phons as big as a problem as teachers may think why or why not? Darryl's response was "no, because teachers always think it's going to disrupt but it doesn't you can listen and text at the sametime unless your text is extremely important than you may not hear them.
"yes, it effects school work because if i'm texting something important i won't pay attention.i would prob.
be listening to my i pod all the time if cell phones weren't created.
it's with me 24/7 but not always being used it's prob. only used about half of the time.
some things that have changed with cell phones is everything they are tiny, has color, style and buttons and more like a computer.
the sidekick or the blackberry have to be the most popular.
i say version because are people are everywhere and it is also cheaper.
so there you have it cell phones have changed in many different ways and they are teens best friend. Teens keep there cell phone on them 24/7 and use it alot more thann they should be. They are also useful and helpful and teachers just over react about them.

EVHS Prom

have you ever wondered why people make such a big deal about prom they spend thousands of dollars for a one night thing!. Is it worth it? what is the point? should it be this expensive?

Eastview high school prom tickets are 70.00 dollars per person International Market Square which is located in Minneapolis. shouldn't the pictures be part of the ticket price? instead of spending even more money on them and the lowest price for pictures are 20.00 so that is 90.00 dollars right there remember this doesn't include nails, hair, makeup,tanning, and dresses/tux yes, This is the bigest dance of the year bout does it mean you have to spend as much as you think? the answer is no, some advice if you would like to save money is go out and buy your own nails or paint them yourself. Do your own hair and makeup or have your parents or friend do it!. So yes there are ways it's just all about the choice you make.
