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.

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.

I read about Deshaun Watson's injury . I liked how the reporter was quick the point, so I knew right away that DeshaunWatson tore his ACL. I also liked how he incorporated a tweet to break up some of the text. I think the reporter could have added a little more information in the first paragraph like telling us how he tore it and if he would be out for the entire season. I will take away from this article how the writer incorporated tweets into the article breakup the text. I also will try to give the information right off the bat so the reader knows what the article is about right away.

My Name Animation!

This is my name animation. I first made a text layer and typed my name. Then, I made a copy of the text and added an effect to it. I made a lot of copies of my name and on each copy erased a little each time. I erased from right to left. I had to make sure to hide the previous layer so I could keep erasing. After my name was fully erased, I went up to window, then timeline and clicked frame animation. After that, I went to the "secret menu" and selected make frames from layers. I selected all the frames then put the frames in reverse. That's it!
