Lone star Dispatch Issue 3

News- Elementary kids take on science experiments
 - On science day, kids from various elementary school came to Bowie and participated in different experiments. There were a bunch of different stations supervised by teachers and bowie students, and each contained a different experiment for the kids.
  - Jill Harding, Maura Evans, and Angelica Agulair
  - I thought Angelica Agulair's quote was important, because it lets the readers know that the experience for the kids stays with them, and that it really interests them
  - The lead sentence didn't really hook me in just because I'm not really into science that much, but it might hook others in more.
  - quote

Commentary- Science Fair is getting too competitive for students
  - The writer thinks that science fair should be optional or extra credit for students, because what they are learning doesn't help everyone in the long run. He also thinks it because it is drawn out across 6 different test grades and it's not really fair to make all of that so many grades.

Photography
1) I liked the picture in Opportunites down in Florida, because I think it is overall a pretty cool picture the way it look with the trees reflecting down on the water, and it draws your attention, wanting you to read it.
2) My least favorite picture is the picture for Light up the night, because I think the way it was taken, the lights look just blurry and they shouldn't all blend together so that people can really see the reason everyone has been waiting to see the beautiful tree.
3) I would like to do the movie review section, because it seems fun to give my opinion on what I think and let others know why or why not to watch it.
4) I rate photography good. There was a lot of art with the photography which I liked

I think interviewing Jackson Walker would be a good idea for the 4th issue, because he is getting ready to play the lead in the school play which is a big deal in the theater and music department.
