Eve Sample's Presentation

It was an honored to have Eve Sample at our school today.

I had the privilege to listen to her in both of my classes today. I enjoyed how she told us the start of her career and where she is right now. I was amazed with the fact that she has a lot of experience on the field with only being 31 years old.

I enjoyed all the articles she read to us, but specially "After the sky fell," written by Brady Dennis in 2005. It is a 300 word article, but it really touched me. I got what the writer wanted to show. I used to think that a well-writen article had to be at least 1000 words or so, but this article changed my mind.

Please read it and enjoy it.

A Good Lede vs. a Bad Lede

A bad lede:

A last-quarter scoring spree by Connie Hawkins, the newly arrived forward, enabled the Bullets to erase a seemingly insurmountable 22-point halftime lead by the Warriors in a come-from-behind win, 88-87.

A good lede:

Newly arrived forward Connie Hawkins fourth-quarter scoring spree led the Bullets to an 88-87 come-from-behind victory against the Warriors.

Well-writen Article

The article that I chose was from the NY Times. It talks about the number of homicides occurring in Venezuela. I think it is a well-written article because it starts with a provocative statement, which hooks the reader. Also, in the second paragraph the article answers the questions who, what, when, where, and why right after the catchy statement.

This article also gives the reader details of the problem occurred in Venezuela. It includes quotes from people that the reporter interviewed. He writes in the third person. And I feel that he is objective. He never states his opinion.

On the last paragraph the reporter ends with a very shocking quote, “We elected him to crack down on the problems we face, but there’s no control of criminals on the street, no control of anything.” This quote makes a perfect ending of the article because, in a way, it summarizes what the writer reported.

How is the class so far?

So far so good! I enjoyed doing the first homework because it was a guide through in how to do a report.
