Brian Kyser Interview-Everyone has a story
Everyone has a story
While I was interviewing Brian I found out his plans after high school is the Marines. He enlisted on his 18th Birthday. He's a senior, he works at Dairy Queen, his favorite color is blue and his favorite place he's visited is Texas. He also has two cats and would like to visit Amsterdam. In his spare time, he likes to work on cars.

Reading repsonse P. 58-70
In this portion of reading one of the story is about The Boys of Winter, which is a line of old softball players that are 75, 80, and even 99 years old. Bob Datson also talks about how to end story. The main way he says you want to end a story is by having a strong visual. Have a strong visual that is unforgettable to your audience. And they will not forget your story.
Voices of Hope
Name: Mel Deonarine
Topic: Voices of Hope
Angle: Voices of Hope was very successful
Script IN (for anchor): Last Friday, Our school hosted the Voices of Hope. It was very successful.........Mel has the story
Stand up: For months our Women's Choir have been organizing the Voices of Hope. A fundraiser that helps families being effected by cancer. After the production they were very happy to see how everyone enjoyed it and it was successful
1st Interview: For the past few months they have been organizing one of the biggest fundraisers, here at eastview, Voices of Hope. I thought it was very successful and everyone enjoyed it. I personally loved it and it was also fun working at it. My favorite performance I would have to say was the Shady Ladies.
Segue: After all the hard work was put in, it was finally time for all the performers to show what they got.
2nd Interview: For performing at the Voices of Hope fundraiser I really enjoyed it. I was more excited than nervous, because I have performed many times before. The part I most enjoyed was seeing students that I have taught and currently am teaching respond to seeing that other side of me. My favorite performance was the Shady Ladies.
Segue: So after interviewing people involved I found out how all of this started in the first place
3rd Interview: We had a wonderful committee, everyone was overseeing an area to make this production so successful. We started in late October meeting every Wednesday Nights. It took us about three and a half months to get this whole thing collaborated and put together. This whole idea started with the Women's Chorale. They wanted to make a difference in the world and they chose so by doing it through music. All the contributions went to the Angel foundation. It was very successful for the first year and we are looking forward to the next production, which will be next year. My facorite performance was Joel Jacobson singing. But we were pleased of ll of our students who performed. Especially the Shady Ladies. We're hoping for a reprise next year.
Close: Well there you have it Eastview, Have a good day

Reading Response P. 43-58
I really liked the Pearl Harbor story. That got me more interested in the reading because Pearl Harbor is one of my favorite wars/battles to talk/learn about. Bob Datson says that your topic is to get your audience to pay attention, and grab there attention, becuase mainly people who are watching the news are busy brushing their teeth, making breakfast, taking care of kids, or just obligated with something else. He also said when you're going into a story make it sound suprising. Also when you're doing an interview play the game What If?

Blog Post Page 22-39
What I found interesting with this section is how he looks into finding different characters and someone else who maybe was involved in the tragic that happened. For example like how he did with the story "Cave Rescue". Another thing I found interesting was Writing to the Corner of your Picture. He talks about finding something or some sounds that your audience can't see. Which is better than pointing out the obvious things to your reader/viewer it makes them more interested in your story.
