update #7

I was Kuhlmeir and I won.  The game was really fun honestly.  I thought it would have been really boring.  I crushed Hazlewood with a score of 750.  Their arguments were terrible and did not support anything they said.  The judge took a lot of points off of their score.  I stated all the facts that we learned in class and it helped me win.

update # 6

3.     Which stories had photos?  Why?  the main stories because they are important

4.     Consider the placement of the articles.  Does the position of a story (above or below the fold) affect the reader’s response to it?  Why?  I do not think it affects the readers response.  

5.     What other information does the front page include in addition to major news reports?  How does this extra information affect the reader’s attention?  It tells what stories are inside along with the page number

6.     How many stories are on the front page? 14

7.     How many stories are local?  none      National?  12       International? 2

8.     What do you find appealing about this front page?  What would you like to change?  it looks very organized.  Make it more colorful.  More razzle Dazzle

Update 2--News Journal--NPR

Headline of Article:___

Drone Crash At U.S. Open; New York City Teacher Arrested

__________________________________________________________

Issue Date:_9/4/15____________________________________________________________

Section:_________________________________________Page:_________________________

Three Reasons why I chose this article (interest in subject, heard about it from a friend, etc.):

1) Drones are really cool

2) Drone accidents are becoming really popular

3) I really want a Drone

Write a brief summary of the article:

 Daniel Verley has been charged with "reckless endangerment and operating a drone in a New York City public park outside of prescribed area."During a second-round match between Italy's Flavia Pennetta and Monica Niculescu of Romania, the black, shoebox-sized drone flew over the court at Louis Armstrong Stadium and then crashed into empty seats and broke apart. The match was stopped briefly while police officers examined the drone.

  

Write TWO reactions you had about the article:

1)  I thought it was stupid he got arrested

2) It was kind of dumb of him to fly over the match with the drone

Write a direct quote from the article that you found intriguing/interesting: The No. 26-seeded Pennetta called the incident "a little bit scary," saying she initially thought it might have been a bomb, according to the AP.

"With everything going on in the world ... I thought, 'OK, it's over.' That's how things happen," she said. 

List one connection I can make between this article and something else I know about (whether from personal experience, school, a book I have read, a movie I have seen, or anything else):

I watch a lot of Youtubers' that own Drones

Dartmouth College Adds A Robot To Its Practice Football Team

This is a really good idea.  No one gets hurt and players still get the benefit of practicing.  They could build more mvps to go against the starting team.  This application could be used in other sports such as wrestling, soccer, and basketball.
