1. What is a problem/issue that our entire student body (our school, community, country, etc.) faces today?


School lunches and the price and quality of it.

2. What is your view/position on the problem or situation?

Our school lunches are decreasing in quality and sky rocketing in price. The administration claims that these lunches are "healthy" but its hard to see that. Also D lunch students have a very little selection of food to choose from.

3. What would you like to achieve with your editorial? (What is the desired result?)

Express, through a picture, how I feel about the school lunches in an exaggerated way. Much like they do with political cartoons

4. How will you persuade your audience to adopt your viewpoint as theirs? List at least 4 persuasive points.

I will use humor in my picture. I will also use color to capture the attention of the viewers. i will use exaggeration in my picture. Last i will use known objects in the picture so people will understand.

5. How will you motivate your readership to action in your conclusion?

I will hopefully evoke similar emotions in them that i have.

6. How will your editorial serve a public purpose?

It will express the opinion of many people in Eastview High School.

Topic: As our high school careers come to a close, a lot of mixed emotions are in the air. Many of us have been with each other for four years and its going to be a big change after high school. My article is about the coming months where school comes to a close and we, as seniors, go our separate ways.

Questions I asked David Prahl

1. How have you changed as a person in the last four years?
"I have become more much more mature over the years. I have learned a lot of life lessons and met a lot of new people."

2. What kind of emotions come up when you think about leaving this place and all the people here?
" I get sad but at the same time happy. It's nice to see friends everyday but when it comes down to it you'll see your real friends long after high school. I'm ready for some change in my life."

3. Whats the most valuable thing you have learned from this whole high school experience?
" I have learned that it's important to take in everything you can and accept help from everyone. If you treat others well, you'll get the same respect in return."

4. If you could give advice to the senior class next year, what would it be?
" Try your best in school and really appreciate the time you have left because when its done, is done and there is no going back."

5. do you see your self maintaining a lot of friendships with the people you met far past high school?
" I see myself maintaining the close friendships i currently have with the people who have always been there for me. With today's technology , it's easy to keep in contact with most of my high school buddies."

6. What have you enjoyed the most about your high school career?
" Just the good times with all my pals and meeting all new people who have really made a positive impact on my life."

I did peer edits on Steve Denzer's and Lauren Goooooodelllll's articles.
