I.
My Favorite writing this semester in journalism was the profile I did on Ms. Merioles. I started of weak with this article. I worked on this article for two weeks. Ms Merioles’ Vivid Methods is my first profile on a teacher. I like this article because I learned how to “paint a scene” in a article, and I did so for this article. I liked how I painted a scene about Ms. Merioles teaching about the immune system. It was kind of hard writing this because I had to remember back to how she taught from when I was a student of hers last year. Overall, I like this article most because it shows me improving myself as a writer compared to how I started of.


II.
My least favorite article this semester was What’s Your Major?. I did not think just getting a bunch of quotes could be so hard. I had to get a variety of different quotes. The article I thought would be the easiest turned out to be the hardest. I was expecting this article to be a piece of cake but I was wrong. I don’t like this article so much because it was hard and I do not like the way it came out. I still believe it needs improvement.


III.
I experienced many things in journalism. I improved as a writer. One of the most significant experiences I experienced was I learned how to paint a scene in my articles. I really liked that and it improved my articles very much. It helped me become aware of how I need to intrigue readers by using vivid methods.


IV.
I really enjoyed being a journalist. It was a wonderful experience. I think I am a good journalist. I started of weak and improved my writing. I liked journalism a lot and learned from this class as well.
