I really enjoyed the collaboration assignment we did this week. It really made our whole class see, and feel how it was like to be in a journalist team. I was the editor, and at first I thought it was going to be the easiest assignment, however, I was wrong. You were forced to make a lot of decisions, and organize many other people.
My group did really well because they all chose topics they were extremely interested in. I think that if we were to actually write the stories it would make a very well made newspaper. We had sports, band, drama, clubs like saad, and chorus. I liked how everyone participated extremely well together, and we got things done.
I did not really hate anything, however, it was frustrating when I had to decide which story for each person to do, and why. People were also interested in more than one thing, so it was a little confusing because I didn't want to limit anyone on what they were able to write either.
I'm not sure what I would change. I liked doing a school newspaper, but I am also very interested on national news. So, maybe the next time I do this I will find topics on natio0nal news instead of topics on our school.
Being the editor is much more challenging than most people would think. You are the "boss" and sometimes people don't like the decisions that you make for them.
