I think that the Freshman Feature example was an excellent piece of writing. When I read it, it felt very eye opening like "Wow, someone really put a lot of time and effort into making this a very good article." I think that it was very good how the author described the setting of the interview and maintained the flow of the article throughout.
there was a lot of detail involved in what the writer wrote. it seems like she the interviewer had a lot of fun writing it and a whole bunch of effort. i couldnt find anything wrong with it honestly.
I really liked this article, especially the begining. It really interested me and made me want ot keep reading. And it kept me hooked throughout the duration of the article.
I thought that the article was very well written and flowed very well. However, it didn't have a wide variety of questions and it didn't really help me to find out about the interviewee but more about the freshman experience. All the questions focused on school and didn't tell about the persons personality or help me to learn about them.
I aree with Wahl. All the questions were pretty much about school. Although you get to know the opinions and what not of the two people, it lacks variety. I lost interest within the first page, but that's just me.
I think this example was really good because i can definitley relate to it. It's very well written and it has so much detail that you can see it going on. It doesn't have many questions but it shows a good backround on the person.
This writer did a phenominal job. Although not many questions were asked, she got straight forward honest answers. I can tell because she added the interviewee's body language and how timid and shy the Freshman seemed. I could sense the intimidation and emotion. I sensed a lot of effort was unloaded into this article. Time was taken to add quotes, and at the same time tell a story. A story behind a story. It was very good and deserves recognition.
The Freshman Feature had very good visualisation. I could picture the room that the interview was taken place in. But I agree with John, there were not many different questions and they were not very fun to read about.
I thought this interview was fantastic. This is because everyone can relate to it & it was very easy for me to read. Also, the writer had a way of capturing the 'freshman's attitude.' For example, the girl was trying to keep her cool & answer questions with confidence, but the way the writer described it, you can tell she was squirming in her seat a little bit. This is why I think this interview was great.

The Freshman Feature article was a very well written article. The reason i liked it so much is because instead of asking the interviewee a bunch of random questions about themselves, she took their life presently and put it into context. The writer interviewed the person without asking many questions and i found it avery appealing piece.
I think this story was excellent! I really liked the opening paragraph because it talked about how she was acting and her body language. The writer did a really good job and clearly gave this article all they had. The only thing that i didnt like was how the only questions that were being asked was about being a freshman. Should have had a range of questions.
I think that this article is really well written. It describes the setting very well and the introduction was really attention-grabbing. The writer gets straight to the point and does a good job formatting the interview. The interviewer first asks a more general question and then gets more specific.
i agree with jaclyn because the begining was the main reason that i got hooked into reading this. In my opinion it was better than what i wrote becuase this person put detail into the setting and used quotes. Which was something that i did very little. Him/her article was very good
I thought that she really hooked the reader with the introduction because it was written so well, and then you just kept wanting to read more of it. The interview part was also very well written. The question and answer part was portrayed in a way that didn't seem like it was just answers of questions. In all it was a very well written article.
Okay, I can tell right off the bat that the interviewee is intelligent due to the way the questions were answered. With such ease and grace. It also showed how shy and timid the interviewee is. So you can tell a lot by reading between the lines and interperating beyond the answers.
I really liked this interview because even though Im a guy I can relate to the interviewee. Being a freshman you do get picked on and everyone says "Oh, I hate freshman they think they own the school." So I do get what shes saying
Shelby Clark whoever wrote this did very well and used really good grammar and it was just written really well. there was alot of good information and details and it made sense and was interesting.
I think it's very interesting how we had a 700 word limit. As we can see here the author made a trade off and lost a lot of information in the form of questions, but was able to maintain flow of the article and make the article easy to read.
I really enjoyed this article. After reading this I now know how I should write my article. It makes me rethink the point of view that is most effective. The way the setting was used, and characteristics of the interviewee were really nice.
i think this was a great interview,because its explaining what happends in freshmen year and how everyone feels when they eneter a new school. they went from being the oldest in middle school to the youngest in high school which for others it can be scary.it is deffenlty very hard to cope when your peers at school calling you a "freshy or "FRESHMEN!" it makes wanna say werent you a freshmen too?
I agree with Sanches about the question "Werent you a freshman too?" With myself going down the hall, I do frequently get called aa Freshy or Freshman, but I just ignore it because I know that they used to be just like me before, so it doesnt matter.
The freshman feature article was a great piece of writing. One of the best parts about it was the introduction. From almost the very first sentence you were pulled into the piece. Another awesome characteristic of the article was the clever title- “Freshman Feature.” You can tell that a tremendous amount of effort was put into the interview. Instead of asking the same basic questions most people asked in there interviews, the writer focused on a big turning point in the subjects life and inquired about it. The article was also targeted at the readers (high school students.) Being a sophomore or commonly referred to as a ‘day old freshman’ I can easily relate to the fresh experiences taking place in the interviewee’s life which makes the article that much more interesting.
it is good but has a low variety of questions being asked
ReplyDeleteI think this interview was fantatsic because It gave quotes, and told a story and described how the interviewee looked and acted.

ReplyDeleteThis example is very good. It has everything that the teacher asked for and is creative and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe opening was a good way to hook the reader into becoming interested.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point Jonathon there is not that much about the actual interviewee, as we don't even know her name
ReplyDeleteThe Freshman Feature had very good visualisation. I could picture the room that the interview was taken place in. But I agree with John, there were not many different questions and they were not very fun to read about.
ReplyDeletewell john. maybhe ther other questions werent as important as those questions. and the questions she asked tied well with what was written

ReplyDeleteIt was lacking interesting details and I agree with Lambert it got boring

ReplyDeleteWho ever wrote this should be hired immediately to the providence journal.
i agree with jonathan though, all of the questions are about school and being a freshman

ReplyDeleteI agree with Ryan & John. It didn't give us alot of questions and answers.
ReplyDeleteI agree with devin. Although the writing was very good, I don't know much about the person, nor who they are or their thoughts on anything.
ReplyDeletei agree with tyge

ReplyDeleteThis article exspresses alot of details from this persons first year in the high school. It has a very good vocabulary and setup.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Jonathan that it does not have much variety but it is written well.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with tyler. I think it was more interesting beacuse it didnt have the question answer, question answer thing

ReplyDeleteI agree with Jonathan, the questions lacked variety but I still thought that it was really fun to read about.
ReplyDeleteThis smart, adorable, articulate journalist did a superb job writing this marvelous article. She used the setting of the school to setup a story
