ONW cheer leading team heads to nationals
After a semester of preparation, a group of varsity cheerleaders from Olathe Northwest high school are preparing to win the national competition in Dallas, Texas. The process will be hard but the girls are ready.
I took the time to talk to a senior and a freshman on the cheer team. I wanted to see the contrast in perspective they both had about the future of the team and nationals. To my surprise, they did have different points of views. The senior, Lucy Underwood, said: “I hope we do well, but i’m not confident we will win it all.” While the freshman is not going to be competing in nationals, she had more confidence in the team. She believed with more work the team would have a good chance in the future.
No matter what the players say, we will not know how nationals will turn out until they happen. The best the cheerleaders can do is work hard, which they are as they are practicing every day. I believe the future is bright for the team as they have a group of talented girls and all have a very impressive skill set.


Writing my story

I was inspired to write my story because I had just done a real interview with the ONW cheer leaders. After reading how to write news story, I found it quite simple to write. i only had a small amount of information but I was still able to write a story. I used quotes later the story as that is what the websites told me to do.
It was fun just getting to tell my perspective n how the interview went and getting the news about the cheerleaders out. I also felt professional as I was able to write a real story using all the rules of a news writer.
I need to work on making my writing interesting to read and using a variety in my words. I could also elaborate on what I am saying more, to make my news article even longer. It would be more interesting to have a well rounded story. Next time I might try to get better quotes and make sure I have a firm story to tell.
I hope to use my news writing skills in my future projects. The news skills I learned while doing this will help my new creations seem more professional.

High School Film Trailer

Project                 For this project I was tasked with recreating a movie trailer of a high school based movie. My group was assigned the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". We had the option of which official trailer we wanted to recreate. After some research, my group found the most reasonable trailer to make and started pre-production.                 Before we could start filming, there were many steps to make sure we could recreate the trailer perfectly. Unfortunately, we found that it could not be directly replicated as there were many shots that we couldn't do. I started with creating a story board of every scene in the edited trailer. Then, as a team, we wrote down all costumes and props. Finally, we cast rolls and made sure people would be available before giving them the part officially. Our group decided to keep most of the casting inside the group but we did get two adults and two students ...

Self portrait statement

My self portrait                  I chose to represent my "self-portrait" the way I did because I though this would be a fun and creative way to show my personality. Before even watching the video you can tell I am committed and prepared. It was also fun to walk around the house showing more about me. I really wanted to show I am a well rounded person. Some other portraits I enjoyed had preparation put into them and mostly focused on one part of their life.         I chose to walk around the house like giving a tour as if I am giving a "tour of my life". I had my dad record me like the audience was following me around and focusing at all the spots I wanted everyone to see. This shows I wanted a lot of me shown in a short, entertaining amount of time.         This process took a couple hours to plan and execute. I had to invite people over (the two girls at the end) and I had to work with my da...
