Peer Reflection

Peer Reflection #1

1. Who wrote the story?
The story was written by Faith in 5th period journalism.

2. What is their story about?
Their story is about printing things from school.

3. What is their direct opinion about that topic? Please quote it directly from the story or do a really good job of paraphrasing.
Their direct opinion is that everyone should be able to print for free at school. "I believe that everybody at Bowie should have the privilege to print things for free at school. It's not really fair that the freshmen get to print things for free while the upperclassmen have to remember to bring money. Everybody should have the same opportunity to print their assignments out."

4. Did they address what the other side might think about their topic?
They did dress that the school may not approve of the idea since printing costs money.

5. Were they wishy-washy with their opinion? By this I mean did they every go back and say well maybe if this were to happen, then their opinion wouldn't be valid. Support your opinion.
They were not wishy washy. When they mentioned the other viewpoints opinion, they came up with reasonable solutions and stood their ground.

6. Are there any quotes in the story?
There are not any quotes.

7. What point of view did they write in (1st, 2nd or 3rd)?
1st & 2nd person

2. What is their story about?
There story is about the negative side of fast food that consumers should be aware of.

3. What is their direct opinion about that topic? Please quote it directly from the story or do a really good job of paraphrasing.
They think that people would be healthier with their food choices if informed about the ingredients. "Most don't know the affects of fast food on our bodies, but maybe if more people did, society would have a much more healthy lifestyle...Hopefully with us taking a stand, other fast food places might start changing for the better too."

4. Did they address what the other side might think about their topic?
They did a little bit but not in a very clear way.

5. Were they wishy-washy with their opinion? By this I mean did they every go back and say well maybe if this were to happen, then their opinion wouldn't be valid. Support your opinion.
They were not wishy washy, and it was evident they were against fast food and the ingredients in it. They criticized fast food places several times throughout the story.

There are not any quotes.

3rd person

 8. Can you tell if it is an editorial OR just a regular opinions piece? How?
It is an editorial. I can tell because it is all in 3rd person and has the goal of one of the four common types of editorials: to criticize.

The Dispatch Issue #5

News- The Lockdown The story is about the Akins lockdown that took place on February 22, which was the result of a former student boarding a bus heading towards the school with ammunition. Senior Bee Barto and teacher Sarah Simmons were interviewed to share theyr experiences. Sarah Simmons and Bee Barto were quoted. I thought the strongest quotes was, "But I wanted to make sure it was a drill and I did see a SWAT team in the hall. It was at that point that I knew it was not a drill." The lead sentence did make me want to keep reading because I had heard about the event and wanted to learn more. The conclusion was a quote. Commentary- Arming teachers is not the solution  The story is about Donald Trump's suggestion that teachers should be amed with guns in response to the recent shootings that have occurred. The author completely disagrees and believes it will only add to the issue by burdening teachers with too much responsibility, adding more dangerous aspe

Free Write - Embarrassment

Settled in after a long day, I finally got the chance to lay down and relax. I shut out the sound of the TV downstairs as my eyes began to slowly close, my exhaustion taking over. My mind takes me back to third grade. Mrs. Grance’s class was generally a good class, but there were definitely some bad days consisting of the kids not getting along or the teacher being way too intense for third graders to handle. In second grade, one of my closer friends was named Atticus, who now is a freshman at Bowie too. Being young, we were still very childish, so messing with each other was an every day occurrence. Sometimes we took our play a little too far, but I never minded, it was all fun and games. One day, we were completing an assignment that required teacher approval along the way, which meant that people were walking to and from their seats to our teacher a lot. For some reason, Atticus was laying down and working on the “class carpet” at the front of the room, so when I would go up to
