Solochek The Associated Press, October 4, 2009 WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. (AP)-Jennifer Gould ended her class announce- ments and told her students to take out their cell phones. "I need at least three people who can get a signal in here," Gould said to her advanced placement litera- ture class. "We're going to be studying the works of D. H. Lawrence, and I want you to find some things about him that you don't already know." Nearly everyone whipped out a phone and began tapping away. "He lived during World War I." "He had relationships with men and women." "He lived the second half of his life in exile, consid- ered a pornographer who had wasted his talents." When the talk had run its course, the students set their phones down and turned their attention to another author. The new cell phone rules have opened up a new world.  Teachers no longer have to wait for a school computer lab to get a quick research project done. The few stu- dents who don't have phones share in small groups, or use alternative school equipment. Allow- ing students to use their cell  phones in class means things get done immedi- ately, which translates into more efficient use of learn- ing time, Gould said: "It puts the education in their hands." In a world where most high schools have adopted a "we see them, we take them" policy on cell phones, Pasco County's Wiregrass Ranch High School swims upstream. It encourages  teachers to allow students to use their phones in classes for educational purposes. Teens routinely use their phones to shoot pictures for projects, calculate math problems, check their teach- ers' blogs and even take lec- ture notes. Senior Eric LaGattuta, who attended Freedom High in Hillsborough before moving to Wiregrass Ranch, called his new school "ahead of the game." "They're just following the rest of the world. It's going digital," he said, checking his phone for messages repeatedly during a short interview. "Once you're 16 or 17, there's things you need to know throughout the day. It was so inconven- ient when I had to hide it all the time." Chemistry teacher Peter Skoglund said he barely pays attention to texting teens anymore. He expects students having cell phones out in his class to be using them for learning. If not, that's their problem. May be photocopied for classroom use.

(point of view, CC 6) Florida School Allows Cell Phones in Class Answer Key 1 B 2 E 3 C 4 F 5 C 6 - H 7 - D 8 - F 9 - C 10 E Possible Summary: A Florida high school encourages students to use cell phones in class in order to access and use up-to-date information quickly. (central idea, CC2) Those without cell phones can pair up or form small, collaborative learning groups including at least one student with a cell phone and internet access. (detail/evidence, CC2) Benefits for the teacher include not having to schedule the schools computer lab and not having to confiscate cell phones. (detail/evidence, CC2) Analysis of Craft: This news story (genre, CC5) is organized by thesis with evidence. (organization, CC5) The title identifies the topic of the article. (organization, CC5) The author uses a pull-out text box to highlight the thesis. (Allowing students to use their cell phones means things get done immediately, which translates into more efficient use of learning time.) Then the author presents the evidence through quotations obtained in interviews with teachers and students and examples such as Teens routinely use their phones to shoot pictures for projects, calculate math problems, check their teachers blogs, and even take lecture notes. (organization, CC5) The author and date of the passage are identified in the by-line indicating that the information is up-to-date and can be researched. (point of view, CC 6) The author uses images such as swimming upstream, idioms such as ahead of the game, and domain-specific vocabulary such as blogs.
