My experience writing a lead with my partner, Kelsey Mendez, was pretty fun. Our article was about having siblings/relatives in the same school as you and what are some positives and negatives about it. Interviewing different people was the fun part; hearing their responses and thoughts on the having an annoying brother or a darling sister in the same school they attend. Writing the article was pretty easy and I really got the whole interview out there. I wasn't even nervous or shy interviewing people because I enjoy engaging in conversation and meeting new people.

Semester Assignments

   This semester, we learned a lot of stuff. For example, we learned about Stephen Glass, a former U.S. journalist who came to prominence when it was discovered that he had fabricated a number of magazine articles in 1998. He made fake notes, fake stories, and lied a lot. Also, we learned about leads and headlines. How to figure out where in the article you can find the lead. There are also many types of leads: Scene Setting, Startling Statement, Blind Lead, Round Up, & Direct Message.
   

   We did this one assignment when we read nursery rhymes and try to figure out what the lead was. "There Was An Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe" who's lead was a mother of seven who lives in a shoe and barely feeds her children and beats her children then puts them to bed. Right now, we are currently using our blogs from last year again and updating it with stuff from this year.

Thunder evaluate what went wrong in Game 2 loss

SAN ANTONIO -- The last time a team put up 120 points on the Oklahoma City Thunder in a game that ended in regulation, Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks took Game 1 of the 2011 Western Conference Finals.

Thunder Vs. Spurs: Serge Ibaka Is Expected To Play More In Game 2

The Oklahoma City Thunder were unable to figure out the key to beating the San Antonio Spurs in the first game of the Western Conference Finals. Scott Brooks is expected to alter some things for Tuesday night's Game 2, however, as his Thunder attempt to hand the Spurs their first loss in this year's NBA Playoffs.
One of the issues brought up in the opening-game loss was the fact that starting shot blocker Serge Ibaka spent too much time on the bench. While it's difficult to say that he would've given the Thunder the victory on Sunday night, Ibaka is expected to have a bigger role in Game 2. 
It'll be interesting to see if more minutes for Ibaka translates into less points for the Spurs and, in turn, a Thunder victory.
