written news story

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.

end of year reflection

  End of year project Overall thoughts       The project I spent the fourth quarter on was creating a fake product and company to sell in a “shark tank”. The project tested my abilities in video, animation, and graphic design as I had to use all three of these media’s to sell my product. This project took around 3 months to finish and present.        Over the three months, I faced challenges with collaborating with others efficiently, (as this was a 4 person group project) but I learned to appreciate how other people can add on to a simple idea. After some criticism from my teammates, I was able to made the best fitting commercial, logo, and package design for our product “chip”. No first draft was put in the end presentation as we made so many changes in the working time. I am impressed with my work and my teams work this last quarter.  Class time       During the time I was given to work during class I was able to complete most of the project. Putting in around

Final Reflection

Semester 2 Final Reflection Some videos I made this year: "This is Gospel" Music video:            I made this project at the beginning of the semester. The goal was to recreate a famous music or create your own. My film group decided to recreate the music video for "this is gospel" by Panic at the Disco. We were given one month to finish the project. After a few minor throwbacks, we were given another week to finish completely.           Some challenges I faced with this project include scheduling conflicts, people in my group not coming to school, and time management issues. It was difficult to get our group of 4 people together to film because we all had busy schedules. When we decided on days to film, someone became sick and had to be absent for many days. This made filming very difficult because we needed 4 people exactly. Sometimes we would have to call someone from a different group to come help us. Our team pushed the filming days so far back that
