1. My favorite Newspaper from page from the website was Times daily because the womans face and her earmuff caught my attention and made me want to look at the newspaper.
2. Grabryran: How much snow and Ice? was the title i was most interested in because its different than what I'm used to here in Texas, it being hot here.
3. There are 4 stories on the front page of my favorite
4. I notice that they all have a big title, with their name, and photos for the stories they have. They have, on average, about stories on all the front pages
5. Some things that vary on these front pages are the fonts, the sizes of the photos, and how the photos are set on the paper. Each one is uniquely different, which is cool.

This editorial gave the opinion that some people have when it comes to new years resolution. The writer believes that New years resolution are pointless.

What: New Years resolution
Where: BHS

How: Formed on her opinion
Basically the whole editorial was a quote.
the whole thing
yes the first line hooked me in
the last line was a statement from her
1. My favorite photo in the entire paper is the photo from "Evita Takes the stage."
1A. This was my favorite photo because it is romantic and funny.
1B. The rules of photo composition that are evident here are rule of thirds, balance, and symmetry.
2. My least favorite photo was the one from the science fair story
2A. i didn't really like this one because it was sort of boring and i could have pictured some other better photo going for that story
3. I think the event i would have like to take pictures for would be a soccer or tennis tournament. I like to take action shots, and go to sports games, so that would have been fun for me to do.
4. Overall, i would rate the photos in this issue a 3 out of 5. While some of them were good, most of them didn't have rules of composition, and were sort of bland. They looked like they had been rushed. What i did like was how the photographers got photo of the subject, nothing else.

Other High School Newspapers
1. My favorite newspaper front page is probably "The outlet," because its a really good photo with the girl gearing up to swing a golf club. The photo caught her in her action, and it just makes the whole cover look nice.
2. The first paper that immediately grabbed my attention was the "twitter takes over" newspaper. This grabbed my attention because it has to do with social media, which is a big interest in my generation. The title makes us want to open and rad that article because Twitter interests us.
3. The headline that caught my attention was "FHS Twitter accounts have crossed the line" because this was what brought me to look inside the newspaper and so i immediately would want to read the article about it
4. On my favorite, there are 4 stories on the front page.
5. On most of the front pages, i noticed that there is one dominant photo and a few tiny ones. There is usually a lot of text, explaining some story or sort of like a table or contents, or talking about a person or group.
6. Some things that vary on the front pages on some of the newspapers is the size of the dominant photo, where the text is placed, and how many columns of writing there is.
7. Yes they were similar as they had a dominant photo, and a lot of text. But those newspapers were different because of where the texts and photos were placed.
