The majority of Morton East students worked at jobs this past summer.
According to Pew Research Center, more than 6 million U.S. teens, or 36.6%, had a paying job for at least part of last summer.
Senior Bryan Solis had a job over the summer.
“I did roofing and framing with my family. Sometimes there wasn’t much work to do. But, I loved being outside building. It was calming,” Bryan Solis said.
The College and Career Center has a monthly listing of jobs available for students who are looking to work.
“I first help people find something they are interested in. Then, I help them apply online. I also help them build their resume. Some businesses come (to the college and career center) and help kids get jobs and also promote their businesses,” Dayana Gonzales, the college and career center counselor, said.
Also, summer jobs help kids develop skills and give students opportunities to explore as they move into adulthood.
“It gives kids experiences about adult life,” Carla, a security at Morton East, said.

The article was a good when it came to the information about the students and their summer job. And how they did their reasearch. Something you guys can work on is getting more valid quotes.

One thing that I liked about your article was how the quotes are well explained. But it would help the reader if you added more detail on the picture and explain more on the context.

The article does a great job highlighting the benefits of summer jobs for teens, sharing personal stories like Bryan Solis’s, which makes it relatable. It also shows how the College and Career Center helps students find jobs and develop important skills. However, it could be improved by including more information about the types of jobs available and how summer work might help students in the long run.

One thing I really like about this article was the research on teens with jobs.
They did a great job with showing images.
One thing to improve was the quotes.
