Project Reflection..

In this project he had some time to do a lot of things. We were assigned one of the Lincoln -Douglas debates in our case we got the first debate. We had to research that topic and then make a newspaper cover of it . With articles and pictures relating to our specific debate. Something that I contributed to the final product that I liked would have to the article that I wrote, which was the Lincoln's view on slavery. Another thing was the poll quote in our newspaper, I had my article already and I just needed to pick something string in that article that would catch somebodies eye or also specify what the article might be talking about.

Something that I did no like so much in the final product would have to be, my article's headline I could have put more thought into that. If I had done that I would have been able to come up with a better headline that would be kind of like an attention getter for the reader.

The process fro this newspaper was long we had a lot of stuff to do. What I first had to do after getting assigned to a certain debate was research the debate. I actually had to read the transcripts to find Lincoln's view. I pulled out specific quotes from the transcripts to show both sides Lincoln's and the opposing side Douglas. After I had read the transcripts and pulled out quotes I had to start write the first draft of my article. The next day I brought it to school and got it critiqued by my peers and group members. When that was done I revised and edited my article as well as Aaron's, while he started working on the page on indesign. Once I was done editing the articles they were given to Aaron so that he could put them into the actual paper. I also had to find pictures and make headlines and captions for the articles and pictures. This process was a little hard, making captions or headlines were not to easy but we got it done. After all of this Aaron was working on the paper and he would ask for our input on how we liked the layout or what we could do to change it, so Me and Sophie both helped in that. We also reviewed the paper to see if there were any mistakes that way Aaron could fix them. That was pretty much the whole process of this project for me and my group members. Overall I think that our final product was good I really liked it, It had some minor errors in it but besides that we were able to all put in work for this paper.
