2017 reflection


(I already did the personal questions in photojournalism)


1. My favorite song of 2017 had to be Believer by Imagine Dragons. The reason that I liked it so much was because I thought it was interesting because one of the main reasons it became so popular was how it played on the hit show, Riverdale. That was actually how I found out about the song too, and the band Imagine Dragons had a significant amount of publicity this year because of that song. 

2. My favorite movie of 2017 was Wonder Woman. I thought that this movie was a great step for women. For so long, boys have been able to be empowered by watching superhero movies, and having idols. Girls this year finally got a chance to feel like they could be a superhero. 


3. I thought Donald Trump's inauguration was the most important movie of the year. This came as a shock to everyone and was a major change to the country. No one expected that Trump would win, and he as president sparked so many people to march together in protest. His presidency is (obviously) still going on and will change this country in drastic ways. 


4. The most important person of the year had to be Kim Jong Un. Most likely, he will be the most important person of 2018. President Trump, who called him "Rocket Man", is dealing with the biggest problem North America had to face in 2017. There have been threats exchanged between our two countries, and no one knows what the drawbacks will be. 


5. I thought the greatest entertainment story of 2017 was how at the 2017 Oscars, La La Land was mistakenly announced as best picture, but Moonlight was really the best picture. This was the first time such a big, dramatic mistake had happened at the Oscars. Even though Moonlight won best picture, La La Land won quite a few other awards.

Car raid

Avery Shelton has had her favorite silver Toyota Forerunner since 2015. Her car has traveled with her as she has grown and has served her well. Shelton’s family bought her car in 2015, and it’s been used by her family almost every day. “My family uses our car all the time,” Shelton said. “We use it for simple things such as going to the store, but also on big trips across the country.” The car is tidy, but has dilapidated grey seats. “Since we use our car so much, we often find that it gets a little run-down,” Shelton said. “We always try to keep it as clean as possible though.” Shelton has three sisters who can make life in the car quite difficult. “The biggest downside about the car is that my sisters always take up so much room,” Shelton said. “They’re so loud and make a ton of messes in the car.” A cinnamon-scented car diffuser dangles from the mirror, filling the car with a delicious smell. “We love our diffuser so much,” Shelton said. “I think it ...

Short Answer: 1. Deployment will reach 1400 2. Metal fatigue is a weakening from metal from repeated use which results in tiny cracks 3. His plan includes a $5000 pay raise for teachers, higher contributions to teacher's healthcare, cost of living adjustments for retirees, and end of the windfall provision 4. Jake Mckenzie played all 9 positions in their game 5. I'd be interested in doing the LBJ library block party because it seems like a fun atmosphere, and watching 'as you like it' because my family loves Shakespeare.

C.E. 4.1

Short Answer: 1. La Veta, Colorado 2. This cartoon is making fun of what President Trump said about having a 'bigger button' than Kim Jong Un, and that made him sound idiotic.  3. Bobby Levinski, Ellen Troxclair, Rich DePalma, and Shane Sexton. 4. Seven Players were chosen. They're Sabrina Bianco, Avery McKenzie, Caitlin Godwin, Kandace Blackburn, Keara McGraw, Kyndall Johnson, and Emily Swift.  5. I'd like to own the Fitbit and the Gopro because I know how the regular products work, and those seem like really advanced pieces of technology. The Gopro is useful for skiing, and the fitbit would be useful for getting back into exercise.  Long Response: 1. The name of the book is called: " Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" 2. Trump's lawyer says that the book includes false statements about Trump, therefore "give rise to claims for libel". For that reason, Trump doesn't want the book to go out. 3. I think in some cases, ye...
