Finding a summer job is a hard task for anyone to do, but now that the United States is in a recession it is even harder for high school and college kids to find a job. Everyone needs money, some people use it to pay for gas so they can get to school, hang out with friends, going to stores to buy things, etc. Money is used for many reasons and many high school and college kids are having trouble getting it now days. With the United States in the recession we are in many more Americans are looking for a job than usual. This is bad for the younger worker because people who got laid off from their regular jobs are now looking for any job available.

Jessica's Peer Edit: The beginning sentence covers 4 of the 5w's. Eastview, 2010, Seniors, graduation. The questions left unanswered are why and how. These are answered in the second paragraph. There aren't any really specific times or anything but the phrase "nothing is set in stone yet". This paper could be improved by cutting down the miss spellings.



Peter's Peer Edit: The beginning sentence covers most of the details but in brief while the second sentence goes on to explain that it was the Eastview Frisbee team last weekend at the Hopkins Hustle. In the second and even third paragraph he goes on to explain what the tournament is and how it works. The only questions I have after reading the first part of his story is how the team feels they are doing during the season and their predictions for the rest of the season.

Editorial

Many people are excited about the Twins new stadium Target Field. I am excited also but there is just one big design error that I totally disagree with. The Twins new stadium Target Field is not going to have a retractable roof or just a roof. It is a totally open stadium which I think is a dumb thing to have in Minnesota. When opening day comes around new spring in April it will still be really cold out also there may even be a chance of snow. Who in their right mind wants to go watch a baseball game during a cold spring day? Also the same will go for the fall time, it’s going to be cold and not many people will want to watch a baseball game. Yes it will be nice for June, July and August but that’s only three months will the baseball season goes on for like seven months. I just think if they had a retractable roof it would make more sense. If it is raining you can just shut the roof and you could play your game it makes things a lot easier you don’t have to worry about rescheduling and all the other conflicts that happen when you have delays. The Twins at least I think will lose a lot of money at the beginning of the year because not many people I think will want to watch baseball in the cold. They should have taken the idea from the Milwaukee Brewers and made a stadium with a roof, they use it quite a bit and seems like a great idea to have one. Most teams are going to the retractable roof design especially the teams that are in the northern part of the United States. So when it comes down to it I think the Twins will lose money in the spring and fall but make money in the summer. Outdoor baseball is really fun to watch and I enjoy doing it myself. The Minnesota Twins could have made it easier for themselves and could have had the best of both worlds. All they needed to do make a retractable roof and could have the sunshine in the summer and the nice controlled weather in the spring and fall.
