The First Assignment

My first interview assignment in yearbook production was to interview my classmate and peer, Conner Meredith.  Although I have known Conner for awhile, this time gave me an opportunity to catch up about our summer experiences and how we are feeling about the new school year. The most interesting thing he said he did this summer was hang out with his cousin Eli. Eli and Conner like playing basketball...

When interviewing a freshman and a senior, their approaches to my questions were notably different, yet still interesting. I first interviewed the freshman, Sara Surdoval, leading with the question,"Who made your summer memorable?" she told me it was her mother, stating "She was always there." When asked the same question, the senior I interviewed, Kaeden Moore, stated that it was his grandma. He ...

My first practice interview in journalism was with junior Katie Harris. This was a great opportunity to get know new classmates. Katie said this summer was spent catching up on much needed sleep. So far her year has not been very hard. The worst part so far is the drama and she is still waiting for the best part to happen. Some of her best friends this year are Cymric Woolwine and Riley Kochel. One...

Coming back to school always brings up many different emotions for people. Relief for the parents, maybe even some dread for students and teachers, but also lots of excitement amongst everyone. The halls of Eastern Montgomery High School are usually the same every first day. You'll find the new nervous faces of freshmen navigating themselves through the halls, sophomores easing into the comfort and...

During journalism we are practicing interviewing people and working on photography. Before we went and interviewed the two freshman classes, Ms. Morris paired us up with someone random in our classroom to practice interviewing on. I was paired with Angelina. I already knew her because I knew her sister and her sister introduced me to her. I asked her a couple questions about her summer and a couple...

For our first assignment in journalism class, we were paired with our peers to get to know each other as well as practice our interviewing skills. I had the pleasure of getting to know Senior Angel Ramos-Mendoza. Angle was thrilled for his senior year. "I can't wait to see how my last school year will go, but I'm nervous to see what  the future holds for me after high school."  Over the summer Angel...

My first interview in yearbook production was with freshmen Hannah Hall, a student who I met previously through my younger sister. Hannah's goal for this year is to pass the 9th grade and to begin her adult journey. Hannah's favorite classes are Geometry and yearbook. She spends most of her time with her friend Alanna and her boyfriend. Over the summer, Hannah went to Tennessee with Alanna and her...

In yearbook class, I had the opportunity to interview new freshmen in both earth science and history classes. I asked them about their summer and the new school year and received some pretty good responses. For example, Jeremiah Younce said that his favorite part of school was the different clubs that are offered this year. I also asked him if he got the classes that he wanted and he said, "definitely...
