Daily Herald

1. Requirements that the student meet are:
· Students choose a topic they are interested in
· work with a mentor from the community to learn more about their topic.
· research paper, a display board about the topic, a presentation before judges and the creation of a product that relates to their topic.

2. Beyond research:
· Weldon- Chapman's product was giving a massage in front of the judges. He first talked about the muscular system, the power of touch and the uses and results of a massage. People usually get a massage for relaxation, to ease pain or for rejuvenation
· Alexander Price-presented his senior project on tuberculosis and spoke about ways people get the disease, how it is related to HIV and how the disease moves through the body to attack the organs.
· Rashod Dildy-showed judges a clay sculpture of a large cat that he created for his senior project on sculpting. He also discussed the history of art and the steps of sculpting.
· Bryana Cadena-opened her presentation on child abuse and neglect with the fact that each year, 160,000 children suffer severe injuries from child abuse. She explained the different types of child abuse, as well as shaken baby and fetal alcohol syndromes. She also talked about help available for parents and children. For her product, she created a brochure about child abuse and neglect and gave one to each of the judges as she told them what she learned from the project.
3. For Bryana Cadena, she most likely had to:
· Research about child abuse
· Looked up information about agencies that help parents and children
· Maybe went to a hospital or orphanage or something and talked to workers about child abuse in their community

4. none of these projects or details about these projects helped me with mine.
I'm just going to have to look into more detail about my subject and expand my thoughts about Photojournalism.
