Byrd has been learning Thai in preparation for next year, as her host family will speak little to no English. She explains that Thai is a hard language to learn because there are not traditional letters, only symbols.

This alt copy does a very good job of displaying all the graphics along with showing quotes and facts. I think it is cool we can see the future of a student we know. Also we have multiple students tha travel and it’s cool we get to see how they are doing

This alt copy does a great job of hooking readers with a fun color and creative headline. The information provided in the nutgraph and through quotes tells a great story and does a nice job of conveying Silver’s excitement about her traveling. I enjoyed that Silver’s family was included as they will be largely impacted by this event as well. Awesome work Emma!

Well done! Great and interesting lead that draws readers in and makes them want to read more. Powerful, impactful quotes that aren’t just stuck in to be in, but are successfully used strategically to move the reader. Visually stringing photos and good use of color. This alt copy was very vibrant and caught my eye immediately.
