What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why?
I liked the Booster Redux Newspaper from Pittsburg High School the best because it looks professional and has an interesting yet still subtle visual on the cover. They also strategically placed the most compelling and outrageous story, "The Naked Truth" on the front cover, in which a student talks about their consequences for distributing naked pictures. I would read it, it caught my attention.
Which paper immediately grabbed your interest? Why?
The "Viking Saga" grabbed my interest immediately with the unbelievably horrible animated cover and terrifying comic sans font that made it look like it was the cover of a really bad pamphlet about bullying from 1999. I hate it and also love it because of how much I hate it, but I'm assuming that's not what they're going for.
What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it? My favorite headline is "A Primer on Memes", which is probably the most ridiculous headline I've ever heard of, especially considering how outdated all of the memes they talk about are. This newspaper is a literal joke and not in any way capable of being taken seriously. It still caught my attention though, so that's something.
How many stories are on the front page of your favorite?
3 stories were on the cover of my favorite one, the Booster Redux paper, and all of them looked really compelling and relevant.
What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc.
They actually varied quite a bit, as some of them were really far from being traditional newspaper covers. Some of the covers were just one huge picture with a single headline. Some of them mimicked a magazine cover and just put a picture in which they listed all of the stories inside of the issue. This style was probably the most prevalent one, though definitely not the most effective or professional looking. The only thing that was consistent through all of them was that they all had the name of the paper accompanied by a logo on the front cover.
What are things that vary (or are different) on the front pages of different newspapers? Look at design, size of photos, size of headlines, etc.
As I talked about before, the size of headlines and front cover pictures varied a lot, as some were more traditional style newspapers with one or two medium sized headlines accompanied by a few stories, and some were more like magazine covers. Some had huge pictures to go with the stories that dominated the whole page, and some had smaller pictures to accompany the individual stories.
Were these similar to what you saw last class when you looked at daily newspapers from around the world?

Great answers until you skipped the last one. :(
