My Experience with Biographies

My experiences with biographies. Well i wrote a few and i have read a few. i have read the biography of fredrick douglass and i've read some about celebrities i like . Sometimes i find them boring , but depending on the person. I've also wrote a few biographies , mostly for projects . I wrote one about Michael Jackson , for a school project .  Which i liked that one because i choose him because he is one of my top favorite singers. I also have written one about myself because people wanted to know about me . I've wrote about myself on my blog for school and my blog on tumblr. I like writing them more way more than i like reading them because writing them is a lot more fun than reading them. I like writing them because it lets me know more about the people i write about.

Crystal's Bio

What does it mean to be a part of Metro staff?

My job as a apart of the Metropolitan yearbook staff is to help capture the memorable moments at our school. All though many may think this this job is a piece of cake Im hear to tell you that it isn't! My peers and I all come together as one to agree to disagree on many topics and decisions that are brought to us.There are many days that I would like to quit and drop out of this class and just give up but when I see the great results that can come out of our hard work it makes me feel honored to be able to say that I am a part of the metropolitan staff.

biography and our story

 i had some experiences with biographies. ive read some about Fredrick Douglass and Rosa Parks and about the wars and thing like that. i guess writing diaries is writing biographies or maybe autobiography. i have done some past experience with being in yearbook in my old school too. but thats it

i once had an autobiography of my life but its to personal to share here

Alex's Bio

As a student I have many experiences with biographies. I have read, written, and revised biographies on several different occasions of my life as a student. Being a student at Metropolitan over the last year has had its ups and downs. I have gone through the life of an average New Haven student. Students that began school with me have declined and now I've seen some become statistics. Some have had children, some have went to jail, and some have simply dropped out. With my own eyes I experienced life taking hold of people who made the wrong choices. It has pushed me to continue to be in school and it has allowed me to be where I'm at now.

Our Story and Biography

My experience with biography is that i use to do them my freshmen year and my sophmore year when i had to do projects and i did autobiography my freshmen year but then after that i didn't no more of it and although i stop doing biographys and a autobiographys im renetering the world of it for the yearbook at metro.

The Current State of our story by Mirissa & Kenny

 Our Story so far seems pretty okay . i think now that the portraits are in we could finish them completely & then our yearbook will be a lot better and not how it was . I think that the cover page i made was pretty okay it needs to be fixed like take away some things but mostly it's good. Once that's fixed  then my page then we just have to add the pictures and fix it up , figure out what pages the seniors have , Spirit weeks and all fun stuff. Put things in order & all then finish it . Once we complete it i think it is going to be a pretty good yearbook .

The Current State of OUR STORY by Mr. Monahan

Before going into too much critical analysis of our yearbook thus far, I would like to comment on how pleased I was with the way staff members handled last week's meeting with Josten's representative Ms. Carina Alfano. I would especially like to recognize the lead roles taken on by Kevin Grimes, Jymisha Freeman, Crystal Ashley and Alexander Chow-Yen in making decisions regarding our cover.

Next, I would like to commend Mirissa on our current title page. I like how in contrast to our cover it incorporates our school colors. If I were to offer suggestions to improve it, they would be possible shots that include people and to alter the black bold outline around the banner shot. It's not that I object to the outline itself; however, it seems out of place/not uniform.

Anjelica's "Back to School" spread on pages 4 and 5 are off to a great start. I really like her choices of color and background. She also includes a wide variety of shots by type and by people.

"Teachers Gone Wild" on page 7 makes good use of the three-part caption; however, page 6 is obviously under-developed to non-existant. It might be fun to incorporate a page here in the vein of the New York Daily News or Post page 6 that is the celebrity gossip page; however, we must keep in mind that we do not want to turn-off any of our potential customers by using humor that is hurtful or offensive.

I will continue my analysis later. Please feel free to comment on my post.

"The Current State of OUr Story " Kevin, Jymisha , Crystal

Title the reason why we don't like the title page is because its too bland & its similar to last years yearbook design we would like something new and refreshing .

We like the administrators page because it includes our principals picture as well as other pictures of different activities done in the school which takes up space so that it wouldn't be so much left over space on the page.

We didn't really like that the "Back to School" page was right after the administrators page we felt that the staffs pictures should have went right after the principals photo's so that everything would be kept in order.

Us as a group decided that we did like the ''Teachers gone Wild page because it included the many activities that the teachers participated in and also captures the fun times in metro aside from the serious times we had such as learning.

The "Work In Progress" page didn't really catch our attention because we feel that theres still work to be done and the page is very bland and needs more pictures and "oomf".

We really liked page 11 because it captured a very fun time in Metro where everyone came together as one despite any drama and had fun!
