1) Principal profile: I would ask Ms. Fig questions like, "What is it like changing from working in a larger school to our smaller school?" or, "Why did you become a principal/staff in education in the first place?"

2) Counselor profile: I would ask Ms. Morales questions like, "What is your favorite part of being a counselor?" or, "What was your job before being a counselor?"

3) Low enrollment story: I would ask students and/or staff, "What changes have you noticed with the lower enrollment?" or,

"How can students change the effects of low enrollment?"

4) School name change: I would ask students something like, "How do you feel about the school name changing?"

Two groups I would ask about the immigration policies would be students and staff members on campus.

For students, I would ask them, "How do you feel about the ICE raids and immigration issues across the country?"

For staff members, I would ask them, "How have you made an overall impact with helping students with resources related to this immigration situation?"

Story headline: "No Food, No Water, a Broken Leg: How a Hiker Survived a Harrowing Week in the Wild"

Story lead: "Almost everything had gone wrong on Alec Luhn's solo hike in a national park in Norway." I like this lead because it immediately gives suspense to what happened during his hike and his experience, making me want to read more of the story.

5 takeaways:

1) Do research on your topic before you do your interview. Preparations and verifying the sources you use is crucial.

2) Make sure to consent to record the interview and after confirmation, make sure the tape is rolling (this is for accuracy). If they don't consent to record, make sure to take notes about everything they say as much as possible.

3) Set a natural and good tone for the interview, almost like it's a regular conversation (you don't want your inverviewee to be tense).

4) Once the interview is coming to an end, ask your interviewee if there is anything else they would like to add or say. Ask for any clarification of information or quotes they stated.

5) When transcribing your interview, type out your recordings or any notes you took. Make sure that you got good quotes to use for your story. Include your quotes and information from the interview into your writing and double check any mistakes.

What I notice about the interview:

sophisticated words/language

follow-up questions that relate to the previous question (she is a good listener)

questions about any tools that helped in the writing process of "Hamilton", the duration in depth of the play, etc. (research was done)

even though it was an interview, she made it feel more of a casual conversation and have a casual atmosphere (when this sets the tone of the interview, the person being interviewed doesn't feel intense or interrogated to answer the questions well)

There is more than meets the eye between the land and the sea. "The ocean is my home but I've always wanted to be part of their world," Princess Ariel said. "I don't regret having legs to walk on land now." Princess Ariel of Atlantica seeks the land beyond the shore after seeing Prince Eric from afar and asks Ursula, the sea witch, to help her. In exchange for her voice, Ursula gives her legs to walk on land and 3 days to fall in love with the prince, otherwise she becomes a subject of Ursula and will never go to the surface again. She defies Ursula's mishaps with the help of King Triton (her father) and her friends to become one with the sea and land.

The goals I set in the beginning of the year are definitely in progress in terms of learning more about the journalism world and working with others in the classroom. I am still learning and have been getting a bit better at editing and writing some things. I still try to do my best working with others and communicating with them if they have questions (the effectiveness of people reaching out and communicating with me has been a little rough though, as well as my end too). For the next 10 weeks, I want to improve communication, turning in things on time, and improve in my writing and editing skills (now that my goals are a little bit different than they were in the beginning of the year).

Bad news: Supreme Court will hear Trump’s plan to restrict birthright citizenship

- This is bad news because the Supreme Court is willing to hear an argument that in all honesty should not be worth someone's time to hear. Birthright citizenship is implemented in the 14th Amendment in the Constitution. President Trump is planning on banning this entirely in relation to 'illegal or temporary' citizen parents (raising their children in the U.S.). If accepted by the Supreme Court, millions of immigrant families will struggle furthermore to raise their children and let alone be able to live in America with the concerning policies Trump continues to pass.

Answer: D. In the literature class, students read from "Hamlet" and the Bible.

- In the AP Style Textbook under 'composition titles', it states, "Put quotation marks around the names of all such works except the bible, the Quran and other holy books, and books that are primarily catalogs of reference material." You do not put holy books in quotation marks since they're common. Quotes only go around other plays, titles of books, movies, poems, etc.

I'm not super surprised by these findings that the Pew Research Center did research on, as the exchange and consumption of news on televised organizations has had less attention on by young people. I'm not surprised that young people (ages 18-29) are the top age group that consumes the most news on social media, which in a high probability case they only consume news from these platforms. Social media has been popular for Gen Z due to the increase in technology innovation and easy access for teens/young adults.
