Read the short story below and find out what Ms. Ritto thinks about smart phones.

Ms. Ritto, the writing teacher, wanted to give a
message about smart phones to her students.
She wanted to boost her students' imagination to
do this and wrote the beginning for a story. Her
story started as "Mrs. Hopkins was lying terribly
ill in her bed. Her daughter, Mary was doing
something on her smart phone. Mr. Hopkins
came in and saw this. Then, he asked angrily,
'Are you looking after your smart phone or your
mother, Mary?' " Then, she gave an instruction
to her students. "Now, I want you to create a
collaborative story. You will work in pairs and each
pair will add their sentences to the lines on the
board by turn and we will create a story together.'
