Feature Article Reflection

My feature article was really difficult but also really fun. There was a long process and I had the most amount of writing in the class. It was fun and hard but the final result looked really awesome.

From the beginning, I knew what my topic was going to be. I knew all the rules and statistics. My topic was football and at the beginning I had ten categories. The reasoning behind this was the fact that I had too many categories that were possible to add. I was able to narrow it down to five. I got all my writing in over a long process. I started out with how to play, and then positions, rules, teams, and the Super Bowl. I had some things that I wanted to include But I didn’t know where I would put them because they did not fit with any of my categories. Luckily Mrs. Cooper showed us that our writing would be formatted with space for pictures, vocabulary boxes, and fun facts.

Formatting was my favorite part. Since I had a lot of writing, I needed to be flexible with ideas for formatting. At first, my article was ten slides long. I worked some things out and narrowed it to six. I had a lot of vocabulary and pictures I wanted to include. That took time to think about as well. At the end of formatting, I had one issue. My conclusion was the only writing that I had left and It couldn’t fill up my Super Bowl page. My conclusion was tiny and I did not want to have an entire slide of pictures. I asked Mrs. Cooper and she said I could make a fun fact page. It ended up looking super cool and it threw in new ideas. Since it was on my last page, it made the article look even better. 

In conclusion, the feature article was really cool and I loved working and playing around with it. There were so many suggestions of what I could do to make my article as good as possible. I had all of the suggestions I needed and turned them into a cool and awesome feature article.
