8th Grade Trip to the East Oregonian




On October 29th a group of students from Sunridge Middle School visited the East Oregonian. When they arrived the main guide Daniel was waiting for the group. He started the tour with the main office which had the first amendment painted on the wall. They walked through the editing room and past many other people's offices. Then they walked into a conference room with many tables with pens and notepads for the kids.


In that room the kids were able to ask some of the questions that they had prepared in advance. “ How do you get good camera angles?” asked Michael Brooks.  The photographer EJ’s advice was to not be afraid to get up close to the object and to take a lot of photos. Many questions followed. When they finished asking questions the students met up with an older man to go through the last half of the tour. They visited the printing room. From this experience, students will be able to go back and use the knowledge they learned to improve their writing skills.
