Story 3 - Native Americans bring diversity into the community
Who? - The article is written about Native American transfer student Cody McDowell. Written by Shelby Kelly.
What? - The article talks about his family, differences between here and his old home.
When? - Cody had moved into the school near the beginning of the year, but the article was posted along with the issue on February 10th of 2017.
Where? - The articles subject is in Austin, so the location of the article is Austin, Texas.
Why? - The article brought this certain person up because the Native American community on our campus is rather small, and having a new addition to that group is worth a great deal for our school's diversity.
How? - The article brings up this topic in a casual way though I have taken it to be a light in the dark, or an elephant in the room, that shows us that most of our school's population is WHITE. This can effect our community and behaviors of the students around the school, so I believe we should honor people no matter of what religion or race they are. It should be equal all the same.
Who was quoted? - Multiple people were quoted. Their names are listed as follows; Cody McDowell, Emily McCullough, Ben Wheeler, and Bree Rolfe.
What is the strongest quote? - "I know a lot of people who are Native American, but as far as my knowledge and what I have been told I'm the only one of few, if not the only one, who's registered as Native American in AISD." - Cody McDowell.
Was the lead sentence what intrigued you to keep reading? - No, what actually intrigued me to see reading, was the title. After reading it, my attention was caught and I felt compelled to finish reading the article.
