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.

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.

Phobia Project
A. What is a phobia?
an extremely strong dislike or fear of someone of something
B. List and define 5 phobias from The Phobia List:
Alektorophobia- fear of chickens
Anglophobia- fear of England or English culture, etc.
Ichthyophobia- fear of fish
Logophobia- fear of words
Zemmiphobia- fear of the great mole rat
C. Brainstorm on your blog possible ideas for a phobia shoot:
1. For the fear of insectophobia (fear of insects) I would chose someone with the fear to make the photograph look realistic. In the image the person with the fear of insects would be either inside the house or outside. The scenario of being inside the person would have a scared expression of their face and them equating son a chair, so they are away from the bug. The scenario of being outside the person would have a squeamish face while holding the insect.
2. For the fear of cynophobia (fear of dogs or rabies) I would have both a person and a dog, or several dogs, to make the photograph explain the story. There are two scenarios that can be used. The first scenario would be a person who jumped on the couch trying to get away form the two dogs sitting in front of them. In the second scenario I would have my two dogs chasing a person with a feared expression on their face running away from the dogs.
3. For the fear of automysophbia (fear of being dirty) I would have someone with dirt covered all over them or just on the hand. In both these scenarios I would have the person having a disgusted or feared fave while looking at the dirt on them. With the photograph with the person with just the dirty hand they would hold their hand as far away from themselves as possible. With the person covered in dirt they would have a disgusted face while outside.

2016 REFLECTION
TOP 3 PHOTOGRAPHS-
This image is one of my favorite photographs of 2016 because of the statement the image is getting across. This burning of the soon to be traded elephant tusk is showing that they should not be traded and that elephants should be respected.
This image is one of my favorite photographs of 2016 because of the clarity and the reflection into the water. I love the colors and the animal that this photograph shows.
This image is one of my favorite photographs of 2016 because of the action in it and the reaction on the fans faces. This image gives the viewers a laugh, it is an entertaining photograph.
INTERESTING THINGS OF 2016-
1. One of my favorite songs of 2016 is Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots. Stressed Out was one of the top ten songs of 2016, most people enjoyed it. Stressed Out became so famous because it was new and different. I believe Twenty One Pilots blew up in popularity in 2016 because of all the new songs that played on the radio all the time and people talked about them all the times, they went on tour and released several songs.
2. One of my favorite movies of 2016 is Star Wars: Rogue One. I loved this movie because love the the George Lucas movie series Star Wars. This new movie had lots of acton and explained the original Star Wars, it went in depth of the story behind it. I believe this movie was a big hit because of the the fact that it was one of the famous "Star War" films which most of the worlds population know and hopefully love like I do.
3. One of the most widely talked about and important news stories of 2016 was the Presidential Election. I believe this news was the most important because this was the fate of our country. This election was played both correctly and dirty, by both the presidential candidates. Me personally, am glad about the turnout of our presidential elect Donald Trump, while most of Austin Texas is not. This election news story brought the people of society to panic and some times turn against each other.
4. In my opinion the most important person of 2016 was Donald Trump. I believe this because he is our new President Elect and is about the be the president of our country. The people of the world have created many different opinions about Trump and assume different things about this man that are and are not true. I would expect Donald Trump to be the most talked about person in 2016 because he is a vey important man that a lot people do not trust and believe he is not the right leader for this country. I am one of the people who try to defend Donald Trump and say good things about him to support him while others do not.
5. The biggest sporting event of 2016 was the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro. I believe this was the most popular because it is a world wide event that have the best athletes of the world. These 2016 summer olympics held in Rio are very important because it determines who has the best of the best athletes and who are the best of the best athletes. I believe that this event should have been the most talked about in the world like it was.
WINTER BREAK-
1. One thing that I will remember one the break was eating together with all my family at my grandparents house in Jacksonville Texas. At the house there were fourteen people plus a dog, this was the first time we were all together for Christmas in a long time.
2. My resolutions for 2017 is not procrastinate and become a better family member and friend.
3. In 2017 I am looking forward to track tryouts and summer.
