Reflection

My first piece for wave 1 is named "Obsession: A Geeky Commentary". I really like the way it turned out, and I'm proud of both the research and the writing I completed. I worked hard on the piece, and I believe the humor I added to it makes it very unique. The weaknesses I find in the piece include the flow of the subjects I cover, since I jump around to different information so much it may be difficult to see the connection to the overall topic of the article/editorial. I really enjoyed my first experience with independently writing an article, and I look forward to writing more pieces in the future to be proud of.

Progress Blog week 2

The stage I am currently on is still the researching/writing stage, considering I have changed my topic due to the lack of quarterly results at this point in time. I feel pretty confident in my idea, but I know that I really need to start working on it. I still need to do basically everything, for i have only just chosen my topic. I don't really have any questions... so I think I'm on the right track :D

Project Proposal: Quarterly Article

The topic I will be covering for the first wave of publishing for The Tower Review is the recently completed quarterly exams. I will be interviewing teachers and students on their opinions on the change from midterms and finals to annual quarterlies, along with talking to the administration on why the decision was made. This week, I plan on getting most of my interviewing done, completing most research, and constructing my lead. The week after that I will complete everything I had done the previous week, and the final week I will write the article in its entirety. Problems I plan on encountering include not finding enough material for a indepth article, and not bringing to the article things that the students at RFH don't already know. I hope to overcome these problems, through doing a lot of research and presenting them in an interesting way.
