Journal 2: Planning the Newspaper Activity

For a second activity I plan on working on the school newspaper for Sturgis because I think it will be valuable to my creativity. I plan on writing about Arts and Theater within Sturgis, both of these being areas I have a strong interest in. But even with a strong interest I feel this activity is going to be a challenge because ive never worked on a newspaper before and Im not sure whats expected of me. My writing is published for the whole school and strong planning is going to be needed in order to create a suitable piece for the newspaper. I plan on applying much of what ive learned in English class on creative writing in order to possibly even persuade my readers to believe in a particular point. With this challenge comes the possibilities of new growth in areas of creativity and time management for me. Ive always had trouble with managing my time, especially with things that genuinely matter, through this activity I hope to work on this problem, setting aside time on the weekends and after school to set up interviews and plan trips to art galleries. Through this activity I also feel ill learn a lot just by taking part in these art shows and plays, Ill pick up different art styles while at the galleries and see how different actors portray their characters in plays, this being very important to me since I plan on being in the film business and knowing how to read an actor is vital to directing. Overall I feel like this activity is going to help me leave my comfort zone and discover new ideas and people.
