1.The photo of brooke Landry throwing a knife.
a.It really got my attention and pulled me in, and it was the reason I chose to read it.
b.Framing through the fence and the target, simplicity because the background isn't distracting from the subject, and depth of field because the subject is deeper than the target.

2.The softball photo of Haley Walker.

a.The photographer didn't use a good shutter speed so the photo is a little blurry and the background takes the attention away from the subject.

3. I would've wanted to take photos for the musical because there are so many photo opportunities during it. It would an awesome way to get many good photographs.

4. I would say this issue is very good. the strong points were that the stories were good stories and that they were very current and appealed to the students. the weak points were that towards the end of certain articles, the text sort of dragged on and at the end of some of the articles, the stories didn't fully wrap up. 

front pages of the world


This front page was my favorite because I found it interesting that it covered international news on the front page.

2. Flugzeug rammt Brücke, it is talking about the plane crash which was a very dramatic incident.
3. 8
4. All front pages usually have one large picture with large text for the headline in the center with smaller text under the picture for the article. There are other smaller photos and headlines surrounding the main article.
5. The main picture varies in size along with the number of smaller pictures and articles.



high school newspapers

1. My favorite newspaper front cover is Findlay High Schools B&G newspaper because i like  the layout of the newspaper is very nice and i like how the colors from the front page correspond throughout the newspaper.
2. I would say that the same newspaper from Findlay high school caught my eye the most because it the layout of the front cover is very well done and it just very well done in my opinion.
3. My favorite headline from this newspaper is the @ twitter takes over because twitter is used by just about every student everywhere and i personally really like twitter.
4. there are 4 stories on the front cover
5. They all have their titles of their front covers in the biggest fonts and it stands out and they each have a main photo with a main, big story.
6. Things that differ include font, colors, sizes of photos, sizes of headline, headlines in general.
7. Some high school newspapers were alike the ones from around the world but some of them were totally different.
