A. In a hard news story there are more quotes but in a opinion writing it's mostly just the writer speaking. In hard news you don't really have much of an opinion, you're just stating what has happened. For opinion writing there didn't seem to be much a format to follow, they just stated what they thought and backed it up.

B. I don't think there was photos because photos refer to a specific moment or event and in these writings they were just giving there opinion on an overall topic.

C. - Teachers taking students' phones
- should the STAAR be taken online
- scheduling for Bowie next year
