Semester 2 Blog 7

For a teacher to teach in my parents time when they were my age, which is around 1984, there might not have been much of a difference at all except that the gov. might not have had requirements or sufficient standards on what to teach. The only similarities between then and now is the subjects we learn. Lately teachers are the ones being cut from their jobs which I don't find sufficient and wise because we need to be taught about the world and about life and politics. the teaches would be concerned about us repeating history and how we would not learn from this if we didn't get the proper education. My grandparents time in 1948 wasn't much different but people weren't as serious about education as they are now.

Link to three outstanding Ampersand article pitches that you have seen on other students' blogs.

What makes each one stand out to you? What makes you believe these pitches would lead to great articles? Write a paragraph for each.

I find that I may want to make my article humorous like in the last pitch given because it may obtain and hold on to the readers attention.

Both the first and last pitches interest me because I could write my article in a story format or in a comic format. I may want to avoid it though because it could take up a lot of my time and I may never finish it.

I chose Lorenas because it supports my ideas and makes me fell that I may be able to blend a couple of story ideas.
