Second Draft

With three wins already in the young season the beach high football team seems poised to once again improve off their previous season’s record. “It all comes down to hard work and dedication” said Kenneth Spiegelmann, receivers coach.

With a recent shutout against Hialeah Miami Lakes, the monday thrugh saturday practices seemed to have paid off. Video work and Strengthening exercises are also part of the training for the football team.

With the recent succeses of the team their goals have expanded. Spiegelmann said“We want to make the playoffs” .

The team has gone from a no-win record in 06-07, two wins in 07-08, and three wins last season, to already 3 wins this season, which hasn’t finished yet. This improvement seems to be be rooted in the near constant practice the team has been put through since the begining of the summer.

Reflection

Write a one page reflection of how your articlewriting process went, including what you learned and what you think you still need to work on with respect to newsgathering and newswriting.

When I first started writing my article I had trouble thinking of a begining that was both interesting and objective but then I find out that since I was writing a feature I could use words like improve, which made writing easier.

Finding the head coach has been difficult and I’m going to go to the next game to see him. Hopefully I can get an interview with him.  I interviewed Mr.Spiegelmann and he gave me some quotes.

I learned that objectivity is the main concern when writing an article. I did not know how to write a news article before but now I’ve learned how to so next time, when I do a news article I will know how.

I need to work on my objectivity because I still used words like improve, poised, and did not distance myself enough from the article.

First draft for my football article

“Slow and Steady wins the race” so says the famous adage, and slowly and steadily is the Miami beach senior high football team improving. From a no win record in 06-07 to two wins in 07-08 and four wins in last season the team seems poised to get even better this year. As Receivers’ Coach Kenneth Spiegelman put it “Hard Work” seemed to be a huge factor. Every day, Monday through Saturday, the football practices hours in an effort to improve. Through constant conditioning, weight room training, and film work the football team strives to improve. In the hot summer heat the team could be found doing Strength and conditioning exercises, straining to get bigger,faster, and stronger. With all this practice comes big goals because as one coach, Coach Spiegelman says, “ We’d like to make the play-offs”.

***** I am gonna write another paragraph but I need to talk to the head coach and some players so i’m not done yet.
