The reporter did a good job of stating the “who” “what” “where” “when” and “why” in the first sentence. Without having to have any background knowledge, I knew within the first sentence that it was talking about Ezekiel Elliott's suspension for his domestic violence act.

I think the reporter could have added a little more detail about how many games he was originally suspended for and expand a little on the domestic violence act. Who was it? A child or a woman? We don’t know from this article. We are able to figure this out by reading different articles, but I think the article would be better if we had an idea of who it was, especially if we haven’t heard about this case.

I will take from the article that I should get to the point fast, answering the five W’s right of the bat so that the reader knows what I’m talking about. I will also be sure to add extra detail to the story if it is needed to help the reader better understand the paragraph. Click the link below to read the full article.

Maya Software! In this article, a college student writes about downloading Maya in one of his classes. He does not really have an argument, but if there was one I'd say he is for the Maya software program. He writes about how it is helpful because a new setting, Camera Sequencer is used to let people layout their camera shots, and can manage them with one part of the animation. The author did a good job of conveying people to download Maya, but however he did not do such a great job in explaining in detail what some of the other features are. I would add more information next time, and more featues to talk about. In general this article helps me understand the Camera Sequencer and hopefully I will be able to use it sometime at school.

They story I watched was a little boy who received a special Christmas, It all started when a little boy took his moms phone and posted a video of himself on his moms Facebook. He then later appeared on Ellen and was interviewed by Ryan Seacrest and Kris Jenner. He shocked people with his knowledge on dinosaurs. The anchors brought his toys on the show so he could show them what he knows. The anchors gave them their full attention and that to me made watching this story better. A lot of background information was given as the anchors asked him the 5 W's. I personally feel they did a good job with the interview. I will take the skill of really interacting and engaging with people for further interviews.Also, adding more background information to set the scene.

My Animation This is my animation of my bouncing ball. I made this animation in Photoshop. We have been learning about the 12 principles of animation; squash and stretch and ease in/ ease out. I learned that by using the timeline panel everything is done frame by frame. Then you have to repeat all the steps. To me the hardest part of this project was getting all the frames in order and making sure you didn't have two or more of the same frames.
