Campus Advisory Councils Co Chair Brian Crow, Brianna Garcia, and Deb Barbosa were all quoted in this story.

The quote I felt was the strongest in the story was what Brianna Garcia said, This quote occurred as a closing statement to the story.

The lead sentence of the story did make me want to keep reading because of how the opening sentence was worded.

The quote I felt that was the strongest in the story was the first line of the story. Austyn(the writer) wrote the opening sentence and it was a great way to open up the story.

The leading sentence of the story did want me to read more because I felt that that was the strongest line of the whole story that draws the reader into want to read more.



B7- Yo-yo'ing swings to new heights

How- This story was done by Matthew opening up about his yoyo experiences and his parents also talking about this as well.

Matthew Lane and his mother were quoted in this story

The quote I felt was the strongest in the story was the last quote because it closed the story well.

The leading sentence of the story somewhat wanted me to read the story. The only reason that it was not that interesting is because it said yo- yo to start the story when we already knew that, that was what it was about.


Photography

A3- In this photograph that I chose, the lighting is poor in my opinion. I think that this picture i very dull and if the lighting was brighter it would draw the readers attention to it. I do think that the photo is placed well and it showcases what will be read in the story.

A rule of composition that I see in the photo is rule of thirds because the poster is off to the side and it is not in the direct center of the picture.

The main subject of this story is about the science fair.

I do not think that the photo is exposed properly because by looking at the photograph you can tell that the lighting is too dark.

I see a deep depth of field because the poster is 3-D and you can see that as well as the classroom behind it.

B1- In the photograph that I chose, the lighting is a little too bright. I think that the sun is getting in the way of the picture and exposing the picture too much. I think that the photograph is placed well and it is in the perfect place for the story.

A rule of composition that I see in the story is a merger because there is a pole of the building in the way and I think that if that was removed the picture would be much prettier.

The main subject of the story is featured by Celeste Hermes.

I do not think that the photo is exposed properly because the light from the sun is getting in the way.

I do see deep depth of field in this photograph because of the horse jumping over the hurdle.

B7- In this photograph I think that the lighting is perfect in my opinion. I think that the picture is exposed perfectly with the perfect background to show what is going on. I think that this is also the perfect picture for the story and it draws the reader to want to read about the story.

A rule of composition that I see in this photo is lines because of the lines that Matthew is making with his yo-yo in the middle of his trick.

The main subject of this story is about yo-yo'ing and Matthew Lane.

I think that the photo is exposed properly because the picture is black and white and the list shines perfectly on Matthew.

I do see deep depth of field in this photo from the strings of the yo-yo.

A8- In this photograph I think that the lighting is a little bit too bright. I think this is because of the lighting already in the building added onto the picture. I think that this picture is somewhat good for the story but I do think that the photographs could be taken a little bit better.

A rule of composition that I see is lines because of the lines of Kate's muscles as well as the lines of the beam that she is tumbling on.

The main subject of the story is about gymnastics and Kate Stubbs.

I do not think that the photo is exposed properly because it is a little bit too bright.

I do see deep depth of field in this picture because she is flipping which shoes the depth as well as the depth of the height off of the beam.

B8- In this photograph I think that the lighting is perfect. I like how this picture is under the trees which adds good lighting. I do think that this photo is perfect for the story and placed in the perfect spot.

A rule of composition that I see is balance because if you were to cut the picture in half it would be balanced and almost symmetric on either side.

The main subject of the story is about the women's rights and humans right's march.

I do think that the photo is exposed properly because the lighting is perfect especially when it's a sunny day.

I see a shallow depth of field because there is just a poster and a picture to the front which doesn't show much depth.



My favorite picture out of the entire paper is Matthew Lane yo-yo'ing in the main largest picture.

This picture is my favorite because it shows good rules of composition as well as simplicity and being black and white.

The rules of composition that are there are lines and simplicity.

My least favorite photo in the entire paper is of the girl doing the back handspring on the beam because the lighting is terrible.


If I was able to contribute to the newspaper I would have liked to do the assignment over if high schoolers can fall in love because I think it would be interesting to research.

I would rate the photography in this issue a 7 out of 10 because mostly the pictures match the story and have good lighting but some pictures didn't turn out as well which lowered my points. I think that all of the pictures had good meaning and concepts behind everything though.
