Student of the Month, for more information about James Bowie High School's
monthly contest. This month, April, the students had a pretty intense
competition. The faculty decided this contest would be great for the students
because it'll make them work harder and strive for an achievement. The students
meet certain requirements every month and throughout the year to win this
award. Congratulations to Emma Koch for winning the award!
Emma has excelled in all things academic and extra
curricular, sweeping away the competition for Student of the Month.
“I selected Emma Koch as Student of the Month for
various reasons,” Principal Kane tells us. “Emma has succeeded in all her
classes, participated in PALS and NJHS, as well as always having a positive
attitude.” Some requirements are having a GPA of above a 3.8, you must be
taking at least 2 Pre-AP classes, and participate in one club. Emma has
succeeded all of the categories, with a 4.2 GPA, 2 clubs, and all Pre-AP
classes.
We asked Emma why she wanted to be Student of the
Month.
“My brother, Brad, was Student of the Month two
years ago, I wanted to prove to him that I could do it too,” Emma replied. When
we were interviewing Emma, she told us that her parents were very proud of her
for winning the award, and that she was utterly shocked and overjoyed when she
heard her name being announced. She felt a lot of pride in herself for winning
and pushing herself.
Emma plans to graduate early next year, then later
attend college at Stanford.

Final Exam Review
1.
2. I already knew how to place the photos in order.
3. I learned how to trim the clips.
4. I'm concerned about the editing quality and getting the assignment completed and turned in on time.
5. I feel confident that I'll have my picture take early because I have my own camera at home.
6. I would say that I'd take a picture everyday of my leap to see if it would improve over the weeks.

Portfolios
1.Travis Haughton
Sports and stories
Faces turned around, little kids overused, ugly backgrounds.
Different ideas, looser.
I didn’t like how the pictures were grainy and I didn’t like
how many children he over used. I did like some sports photos.
Melissa Golden
Stories
Boring, out of focus, overly photo shopped.
Portraits.
I disliked that they weren’t in rule of thirds format, I
liked the black and white portraits.
Sam Adams
Sports
No direct faces, issues in the background, bad composition.
Black and white photos, scenery.

Warm Up- iPhone Photos
1. My favorite photo was the one of the little girl with bright green eyes in a green blanket.
2. The photos seem as though they've been taken with a DSLR, I would've never guessed these amazing photos were taken with a phone.
3. I feel like the photos were so individually beautiful that they didn't need a huge impact on the photos from editing apps.
4. To improve my own phone photography, I may try to get at different angles and find different ways to use light.
