This week I watched a video about a girl burned by acid it was a sad story about a young girl burned by a classmate. This young girl now has PTSD and is trying to work through it. The anchors did a a great job researching before. They also used the 5 W's and gave her a sense comfort.

The anchors had a some things they need to work on. They were too busy thinking about the next question instead of asking follow up questions. Also they had a problem with interrupting her before she was done speaking.

I will incorporate the 5 W's into my interviews. I will also work on asking follow up questions for the interviews. I will also put in a lot of time and research into my work before I interview the person.

Patterns

This is a repeating pattern. For this pattern I used the polygon tool and rotated it into a diamond. Next time I will improve my project by using smart guides. My process through out this project was trying to come up with a creative pattern and using the correct colors. I also had problems aligning the shapes equally. This is a radial pattern. A radial pattern rotates from the center to the outside. I created this pattern by first making a circle then using the direct select tool to cut out pieces of the circle.

The scope of this project was to create ordinary objects out of shapes. By doing this we created an object just out of simple shape that we normally wouldn't think would go together. My process throughout this project was to create something relatable and that go well together. Along the way I learned how use the path finder tool and how to use the live paint bucket. Next time I will make a different item and use different told.

Nine people were killed and at least seven were wounded. The article focuses on the reporters of the incident and how demanding they were of people to get an interview with them. Many people saw this as disrespectful and rude but the reporters were just doing their job. The author does not take a strong stand for either side of the argument. He mainly discusses both sides and does not state which side is right or wrong. He agrees with the victims that it is rude but he also agrees that it is their job and that they don't mean to come off rude, but it is their job to get information quickly as possible and give it to the public. The Aritcle is not a strong source if you are looking for information of the shooting but it is strong public opinion on the topic. It discusses how reporters are too demanding of people and come off strong ...
