Assignment 04/08/09

Who?
ordinary People helping other ordinary people.
What?
Some good people are picking up stuff that one person
left behind and tracking their owner so they can give it
back to them. These are just some people, doesn't mean
hat all people are doing this now, but they are places like
SendMeHome, BoomerangIt and TrackItBack, so that you can put a code
on it so people can trace it back to you. This is different
because you hardly hear about someone who went
throught all this just to get something like a camera back to its owner.

When?
it is happening now.

Where?
One story within the article happen Scotland, but this kinda stuff is
happening all over the place.

Why?
people are good and they just went out of their way to help some stranger.

How?
i think it is kinda cool how some people can just do this for some random stranger.

Assignment 04/06/09

• I think that one thing that the newspaper can add is that when we have a guest speaker here, they can put it in the newspaper so everyone can hear what they had to say if they couldn't go.
• I think that they should put on the front page something that would really catch they student attention.
• they should put either the weather for the day or the week.
• Maybe they could put a index in the paper.
• I also think that they should a little bit more color to it.

and Danny and Fran Kellers are involved. The situation mostly
affects Danny and Fran Kellers.

Christina is accusing Fran and Danny of sexually abuse. The
little girl, Christina, is claiming that she was sexually abused at her
day care. It happen back in like 1991 when the trial was in effect.
Christina had first spoken out to her parent in like 1990. Fran and Danny
were found guilty and are now serving their 48 life sentence.
This is different because it is not normal for a grown adult to go and
abuse childern thatcan't even defend themselves. The Keller's say that
they are innocent.

This happen back in 1990 and the trial was in 1991

Only the child says that it happen, but they Keller's said that it never happen.
Nobody's ever know's why this happens...

Assignment 03/25/09

Who?
The US And Mexico

What?
The Mexico Drug Wars are coming into the US, it is happening
all the time, we have seen it become a big problem. Many innocent
people can get hurt if we don't stop this. We could try to put up more
security around the border.

When?
It is happening all the time.. sometimes it becomes a big problem then
it dies down again.

Where?
It is mostly happening in the US states that are bordering Mexico.

Why?
It kind of just something that happens and plus they can make a lot
more money in the US selling that stuff.

How?
It is costing some people to be abducted from out of their homes. Many
people are frighten of that these people might come to their house. This
can affect a lot of people in the US because it is hurting their fellow Americans.

I think that it is kind of scary. I have heard about it before and never really
thought nothing of it. I think Obama should put more security along the border.
Also I just feel bad for all the families that already fell victim to this.

Critique on the Newspaper

#1 Soccer scholar Jesus Cruz signs with High-Point
By Clarissa Marquez

I like that they put what he plans to major in while he plays soccer at High-Point. I like that they also put the other colleges that were interested in him. What I didn't like is that they didn't use enough quotes, I think that they should of used more quotes.I think it is a good article they pretty much give details and stuff, just use more quotes.

#2 The Killers come to Austin for a "Day and Age"
By Ricky Valenzuela

I like that in the beginning that he started off like you were actually there and the concert was just starting. I also liked that he also put a little comedy in it "with overpriced cups of beer". I also like that they mentioned all three of their CDs. I think that they could of maybe tried to find some people that went to the concert and got some input from them and added it in.

#3 Book Review: City of Ashes
By Alma Benitez

I like that they put some of the first book info because this is the second one that she is talking about. I like that she kind of tells what the story is about but she doesn't give everything away.I think that maybe they could of added maybe a little more information on the first book.
