So! The first meeting rolled around.
On that Thursday, I was surprised at how many people turned up.
About 12...
Not bad!
(I was honestly going to be happy if my 4 or so friends showed up.)
So, we talked, or, I talked at first.
I told them that this was my first club.
That we would all make mistakes,
and that we should have fun with it all.
And that I would make mistakes,
and that I was really awkward.
(That made them laugh a bit)
Afterwards, I asked what they want.
We got lots of amazing ideas!
Things from a comic strip to an anonymous ask,
a horoscope to an editorial,
photo of the week and teacher of the month,
it was great!
The Thursday that comes along this week,
the 2nd meeting,
they'll be showed this website that makes a digital paper
by hotlinking Tweets!
I learned this a little bit before,
with Mrs. P and I discussing lots of ideas,
but to be fair, I really want to learn them again,
(I kinda forgot a few steps...)
but I have a feeling this'll all turn out well. :)
Three cheers for the next meeting!

Preparing for the Newspaper Club
I am a member of the Duke of Edinburgh club.
A club that asks that people to have a certain number of volunteer/work experience,
a club that asks for physical hours,
a club that works on encouraging us to go on a journey of some kind on our own (with certain aquirements),
and a club that asks for each of it's members to work on a skill.
I'm doing well with volunteer hours,
and I'm slowly working on my physical hours,
and the journey will come this summer,
(wow that sounds really dramatic)
but I'm working on my skills.
Recently, I've started a Newspaper Club at my school.
And with the help of Mrs. P,
it's first meeting; in my opinion, was a success.
On preparing the Newspaper Club, I've sent lots of emails,
spread the word onto lots of interested people,
asked for any ideas,
relayed any questions,
gave back answers,
and stood to talk in front of a group of 12 or so people,
hoping for the best.
It'll be a little hard,
working on this "skill building".
But I'll try my best either way.
Let's go Newspaper Club!
