Three little pigs
1. They covered it through newspaper, social media, online articles.
2. The story is different. In this one, the pigs are guilty of framing the wolf.
3. I don't think the video showed them interviewing anybody. However, there was a scene where a police officer was speaking publicly.
4. They covered the wolf's side of the story, the pigs' side, details that might be important to the story such as the wolf's asthma, scientific facts like houses v. wolf breath.
5. I'm sure there's something they didn't cover, but I can't think of anything.
6. No, but they took opinions from other people.
7. I think we can if there's enough going on at this school.
8. I can help by always keeping the newspaper in mind when I hear about something going on or catch an interesting conversation.

Public school education
Interviewees: Semi-intellectual students, teachers, dumbass students.
Big questions: What's the most important thing you've learned during your high school career?
Do you remember what you learned when you get home?
Do you think about what you've learned and apply it to reality?
What's your attitude towards school?
If you were a platypus, would you drive a car?
Do you enjoy learning?
Do you plan on going to college?
How do you feel about pulp in your orange juice?
If school wasn't mandatory, would you choose to go?
Fuck?
Do you think the standardized testing reduces the value of education?
