Just a bit ago I had an assignment where we were going to make a feature article which I had never done before. After our teacher explained what the assignment was going to be I had two ideas in my head on what I was going to write about, the first one would be Madden,  the second one was the NFL. At first I thought that I should do it on madden because I thought it would be the most interesting but after I thought about it, I thought that there was a very important message for football that I though should be heard, the message was football is more that a rough sport it is a game of skill and talent. 

Then I had the right feature article which I thought was very enjoyable but also challenging at the same time. The real challenging part was the fact that I had to approach it as if the person didn’t know anything about football so I had to explain the rules of the game and the subject of the game and how to simply score a touchdown or a field goal. After I explained how to play and the rules I explained the real message through a couple of sections, the sections were times of the football season, beginner’s luck or skill and some historical moments. I though historical moments were really fun to write about because one of the moments  were on my home team the New York Giants when O’dell Beckem .Jr had a crazy catch, although I though historical moments were the most fun beginners luck and talent was a important part of the story because I thought  it really brings out my message in my article. Next I had to write my conclusion which was the shortest part of my story but also the hardest in my opinion. I thought the conclusion was hard because there were so many ways to end it and I just couldn’t decide how to end it so I looked at others from previous years and that really helped me write my conclusion for the feature article. After I did this I had to edit my pieces which, similar to my conclusion, was really challenging because I had to keep looking at it and had to make sure that I was not forgetting grammar mistakes or punctuation  mistakes or anything like that. I found it very helpful 

After then I put my feature article in the slide show which was very enjoyable because I just had to copy and paste my text into my slide show so the only real work was how I wanted my feature article to look when it was done. I tried to stay with one or two designed for each slide which was either one big text box and a picture or two with a little box explaining what was happening or two little text boxes with one or two pictures in the middle or on the right side of the slide which I thought looked pretty 

This is only my second writing piece of the year, my first writing piece was when I wrote my personal narrative, when I compare this writing piece from my last I think my context of my feature article was better and I think I grew more as a writer but I liked writing the personal narrative a little more, I don’t have a specific reason why but I do think I enjoyed the narrative more. After looking back at my writing I am really proud of how I brought out my message in my story because in years past I had a hard time with that. Over all I really liked this unit and thought I did a great job with it.
