This has proven to be a difficult decision because I've written several during the course of my internship. I don't particularly want to have the Dirty Spelling Bee article on there...it was so difficult to write, mainly because the topic was one I'd never had to write about. The Spelling Bee was a fundraiser for the theatre where adults (18+) were allowed to spell "dirty" words. It was difficult, but I think it turned out to be my best release because I had to be so careful with it. I've already decided to have a notebook with most of my work in it with my project so that there is more to the poster than just the 2D things.
I'd like to use the Romeo & Juliet article because I think that, even though it was my first one, it was one of the best examples of my explaining ability. I had to condense a largely-known text into a press release without giving away the ending that everyone already knows! To say it was difficult doesn't really cut it...
I think that, because I had to work with a well-known item, Romeo & Juliet would be a good representation of the type of work a professional writer will have to do. There are always writings coming out with a synopsis of a well-known item that never cease to impress me by the way the writer handled the text from which they worked.
I would like the whole article to be on the board, but I don't want to overwhelm the reader/viewer. I think I'll highlight one part of the article so that the eye immediately turns there...the one part would most likely be the synopsis of the work.
I know that having a notebook full of my work will demonstrate that I did more than simply write a 350 word article every other week.
