    It's worded like a short story rather than a news article.

    Much better.

    You mention a Mr. Eaton, without any explanation about who he is, or why he would be procuring a jersey.

    Reminds of an essay I wrote in 2nd grade in which I used and misspelled the word "rock" as "roch" over 25 times.

    Added that. Open to any suggestions in the next 24 hours because printer is out of ink of course :( and now need to go to school and explain the oldest excuse in the book. My printer ran out of ink.

    You are close to the French spelling of rock roche.

    :p I just got my mom to write a note. Plus they have a color printer there but the question is if they will let me use it.

    just some design tips to make it look better:

    the composition is not well distributed on its space. the title 'the maple leaf' is touching one of the edges, while the text is way too far from the bottom edge... the text is too close to the image too. and I also think the text font is too small, and the text would look better if it was justified.

    but overall it's good! (: I like it

    I need to agree that I would want the text to be justified. I could not find out how to so I just left it like that since my teacher probably knows nothing about Photoshop and she is not marking us on how well it looks. I was going to put a like ad for the Eatons store but could not make it fit with the newspaper at the bottom.

    Just FYI - to justify text in Photoshop, just go to Window > Paragraph, and then a little window should pop up with justification / alignment options. ^_^

    Thanks. I will send that in as my color copy since I got the ink.

    I love rachelsaurus, she is pleasant, pretty and nice.

    I don't love the newspaper story, though. :/ But I guess you can only improve with vigilant practice and constant public ridicule.

    I assume it is more for a journalism project, and getting the who, what, where, why, wtf is more important than some of the flowing syntax.

    I have found that children do not respond to constant public ridicule in a positive manner. While it still appears to be a honoured technique in the teaching profession, it just seems to discourage young souls.

    was to remove a couple of errant inverted commas.

    Bingo. One mark is for Who, What, Where, When, Why and How. Also it is more of a short story so not much I can put in for it to be omg what a great article.

    Some people deserve to be discouraged. "Work harder next time and try not to suck so much." that's my motto.
