Chelsea Willing interviewed Clyde Paton. She had three meetings with him, and he brought many photos and aids to help. He was very enthusiastic about telling his story about 4WDing along and around the Canning Stock Route. She wrote a feature article focussing on the history of the stock route as well as Clyde’s story. She was happy with her application, but wishes she had taken Robyn’s advice and written her article using more of the features of writing a feature article. She used a powerpoint to assist her presentation.
Jared Daly has written his application on John Whitbread. He has chosen him because he had a very interesting story about his experience in the police force. He has had two interviews with John. Jared had written a feature article as it was the most appropriate form to outline John’s story. John is a very community minded and humble man. Jared has looked at a few examples in local papers as well as a previous article written about John. The purpose of this article was to demonstrate John’s achievements in the local police force. Jared mentioned that he should have had more interviews to get more information about John’s personal life, and looked at more examples to get a better feel of newspaper style.
Jos Spurr has chosen to create a booklet on her story teller, Dorothy Pargeater, who served as principal of St John’s Grammar for 23 years principal. Dorothy has also had a career in education for over 45 years. Jos though it would be good to learn about the history of St John’s in its Jubilee year, and wanted to create a documentary on school initially, but thought that a book was better suited to her skills. She had three interviews with Dorothy. Jos was given a box of materiels to sort through. Her target audience was for year 8 onwards and has kept a consistent layout throughout the booklet, and has used yellow paper to give it a more professional and authentic feel. She has taken many pictures from previous St John’s year books. If she could repeat the application again she would dedicate more time to the project, so that it would not have been rushed.
Jade Bennett interviewed Eve Holmes. During the first interview they discussed possible topics for Jade’s application, and ended up choosing a feature article focussing on Eve’s impact on the Blackwood schooling community. She was going to write an investigation about the differences in schooling, but decided to write a feature article after Robyn visited the class. Unfortunately, changing her mind on what to write about meant she didn’t have time to write a draft, but she is happy with her final product. She used a powerpoint to assist her oral presentation.
