Being a part of Journalism 2 has been a very fun experience for me. I was very excited to be in this class at the beginning of the year. Its been so cool to use the tools and techniques that I learned from Journalism 1 last year. While I enjoyed working on the school newspaper, I think blogs help showcase our personalities and interests more. It was very fun writing the school newspaper because it allowed us to socialzie with friends and come up with news stories for our school. I loved writing a story that people would enjoy and interviewing people on topics that were really valuable. Writing the school newspaer took a lot of work and effort from both the students and our teacher, Mr. Adams.
Blogs were also really exciting because we got to pick what we wanted it to be about. With blogs, we have full control over what we want to say and how we want our website to look like. Pop music is one of my favorite thigns in the entire world and being able to write blogs about a genre of music that I absolutely love made me so happy. Pop music has been around for a long time and its been cool to write about it and update people every week about what’s going on in pop culture.
As the school year is winding down, I’ve been able to reflect on the kind of year that its been and also what I’ve been able to accomplish. I got an A all quarters so far, which I’m really happy about. The stories that I wrote this year are very meaningful and has been fun to write. RobyPop was one of the hardest things that I’ve worked on this year and I can honestly say that I’m proud of all the blogs that I’ve made. The school year is not over, which means there are even more opportunites to keep improving on my blogs and writing skills. Journalism 2 has showed me the value of being a writer and how hard it is to come up with quality content that people will enjoy reading.
