Raising cultural awareness with music, food, art, and alliance by Fuaad Ajaz
The article "Raising cultural awareness with music, food, art, and alliance" was written by Fuaad Ajaz to bring awareness of the important African-American people of America and the month long holiday of celebrating their culture. He explains how Bowie High school supports this holiday along with Multiracial Awareness Club leader, Joyce Brisco and wants to bring awareness to the black culture by having luncheons and other club events. Staff members of Bowie share their experiences or racism effecting them and the true meaning of black history and its importance. Black History Month is just another way to remind others that African-Americans fought their way to equality were an important part of our American History.

"Super Mario Run": Game's purple coins not enough by Jake Brien
Nintendo's newest app "Super Mario Run", although fun and addicting was a let down to the community and the Nintendo's profits. This addicting game was unveiled to be one of the best, but did not get that attention, only 1.5 million of the 40 million downloaders bought the game. This letdown get the money or hype the Nintendo community wanted.

Lead sentence was not intriguing.
Behind the scenes of The Who's Tommy musical by Shelby Papst
Bowie High Schools 2017 production of "The Who's Tommy" musical took a lot of hard work and stress. Students and Staff at Bowie talked about their experiences, biggest challenges, and what it was all about. This group of people made the set and props all by hand and had to wait till last minute for some, which made it even more stressful. Overall the students thought this project was stressful but inspirational.
WHO- The Who's Tommy Cast and Crew
WHAT- Theatre Tech part of the production
WHEN- Before the Tommy production
WHERE- Bowie Theatre
WHY- The hard work of putting on a musical
HOW- Gather students quotes and thoughts
QUOTE- "We waited last minute for a lot of things that did not happen and that meant that we ended up making a good show, but one that could've gone better."-Julia Cabera
PHOTOGRAPHS
A3- The first image of the science fair participants I felt was too dark and had too much going on. Although it was not the best quality of a photo I felt it added the needed information for the page, the science fair. The main subject of this photograph was the judge of the science fair.
B2- This image of Dawson Warnken working out in the weight room I felt was a good image with a clear subject that added the needed value to the page. The photograph used simplicity color wise and balance.
B5- The Who's Tommy collage was perfect for the story of the musical, it added all the characters and their smiles. These photos were all taken with different lighting, some are light while others are dark.
A8- The pictures of Kate Scrubbs doing gymnastics added the skills she has as a gymnast. All the photographs had a clear subject and had some simplicity. I felt that some of the images didn't have enough lighting which made the image dark.
B8- The Women's human rights page I felt had great photos showing the story. These images had a clear subject with the perfect amount of lighting, using some cropping and mergers. The main subject of these photographs was women and the signs of equality.
My favorite photograph of the article was the second image on B7. This photograph of Matthew Lane had a clear subject using simplicity and an in-motion shot. I liked this photo a lot because the camera captured the expression on Matthew's face and was overall a great photograph.
My least favorite photograph of the entire paper was on A2 of the new principal. I felt this image was too boring and didn't give the paper too much.
If I was on the new paper staff I would want to go shoot the "The Who's Tommy" musical. I feel that would be the most fun to shoot because you get to capture the different characters and the scenes of the show.
Overall I would give this issue of the Bowie Newspaper a 7. I felt that some of the images were good quality and showed the subject while others were bad quality with too much going on. The stories were pretty good but some needed a better sentence starter.

FRONT PAGES OF THE WORLD
1. The Austin American-Statesmen was my favorite newspaper cover because it was the most appealing, there were bright colors, and many different images.
2. My favorite headline from the Austin American Statesmen was "CAKE ART" because it is a different bright color, it is bold, and because its about cake.
3. There are 5 of stories on the front page of the Austin American Statesmen.
4. All the newspaper have a dominant headline, dominant photograph, multiple stories, different fonts, sizes of font, have an add, and pictures on the cover.
5. The different newspapers follow different designs, are different sizes, have a different amount of stories/headlines, and different topics.
