NEWS STORY
Brady Slavens is a senior at Olathe Northwest high school. Brady has been playing baseball for about 10 years. He works hard everyday making himself better and working towards doing baseball as a career, but he doesn’t just work hard for baseball, he also is a very good student. He strives to have A’s and has been awarded many academic rewards. Even with his smarts he wants to be a professional baseball player, that’s his dream.
  When I talked to Brady about his time commitment for baseball he said he works on his skills everyday whether at baseball practice or going outside with his dad to practice. Brady is a very good influence on his friends and is a role model at Olathe Northwest and he has big plans for his future.


When writing a news story there are a few things you need to take into consideration. First ask yourself, who?, what?, when?, where?, and how? Then you will use the inverted pyramid theory to build a good story. Start with the most important which is the lead then you'll apply who, what, when, where, why starting from most important information to least important information. I applied this to my story even though it is short it is full of information about Brady and his baseball career. 

I like writing news stories because they get right to the point, they don't add a lot of fluff but they are strait facts and they get to the point. I think the story was very informative and gives the reader plenty of information about the subject. I think that my stories are straight to the point so that is one thing I would not change about my story because that is what a news story is suppose to be like.
I think by the end of this project I will know how to write a good news story and I will learn a lot from it because I've never written a news story before. I can't wait to begin on this project because I am very interested in it!

This project was fun but a little challenging. Sketch-up is sometimes difficult to work with but over all was fun to use! I started out by finding a house plan to use, I found a little blue house that caught my eye. We began to work in sketch-up, this was my first time using it! The beginning started off pretty easy but later became harder. I think the hardest part was the roof, and one of the most time consuming parts of the house. The roof ended up looking amazing so it was worth the time. My favorite part about the house is the deck because its very spacious. This project was very fun and I would recommend Sketch-up to people whom have patience! I changed the layout a little from the original

                                        Video Production Final Blog ONW NOW News Story This week we worked on a news story for ONW NOW, this was our last video for the semester. This video took us about a week to do but with some set backs it took us a little over a week to finish.    We decided to film Mr. Zuck to ask about his opinion about the laptops. We had to reschedule 2 times so that threw us off track but those days we spent filming broll. Once we got an appointment we began by asking Mr. Zuck the questions we wrote about the laptops. I learned that sometimes you plans won't work out how its suppose to so we need to have plenty of back up plans to assure that we will have our film for the video. My teacher had some feedback for us that we need to have a strong back up plan so we aren't rushing to finish in the end. The original video we were planning on doing an interview over a different teacher but we decided to change that and do an interview on Mr.
