We Meet Again: EL 227 Portfolio II

I feel like I was just screaming at the computer, trying to get the first portfolio done yesterday. Good news is the computer is fixed, bad news is I haven't blogged much since September 28th, I wasn't expecting another portfolio so soon, it's only been a little over 2 weeks. I feel like I should be including my last portfolio in this one! Haha. Oh well...happy reading!

Homecoming on the hill- News Writing is giving me so much experience, and this is just a reflection on how surprisingly easy it was to gather information to write this article.

I'll take a Spurlock with Biggie Laughs, please.- Yet again the quest for quotes had me in a frenzy, but I wound up finding an angle for my article with little digging at all.

Homecoming article-Lantern tours offer a beautiful and educational view of campus.

Morgan Spurlock article-McDonalds marketing to blame?

Journalism- more than meets the eye- my thoughts on journalism, my future career and passion.

Discussions:

I was the first to comment on Mike's article on the Morgan Spurlock lecture. I praised him for a wonderful article, and gave some thoughts on the lecture.

I helped give Valerie some support about interviewing people. This also started a discussion about the attitude of the interviewee.

I asked Erin how she feels now that she's blogged-a-bit.

I let Nancy know that her first portfolio page came together beautifully, Leslie agreed with me, and I know that gives Nancy encouragement. She inspired me to improve my portfolio!

A wildcard entry launched a discussion about kicking the habit, and juvenile college students.
