Joad:

Smokes a lot

"She was a good well" "I cant hear water."

I think this quote has some symbolism but I am not sure to what.

"I seen turtles all my life. They're goin' someplace. They always seem to want to get there."

This quote I can guess has symbolism i think about how one character (maybe Joad) finding his place back home or something like that.

1. Alias Mentor Interview

http://aliasblogg.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-had-found-that-life-businesses-and.html

I like alia's mentor interview because it is very organized and professional looking.

As you can see it has a quote on the top that is bold and it really starts off the mentor interview. The picture had a border around it, so it makes it organized and it stands out.

2. Beth's Front Page of DP

I think this is really good because it actually looks like the words she typed were originally in the photo. Even though this is not her picture it really makes it professional because of the font she used and how well it blended in. It also really shows how Beth is.

3. Lynn's Front Page of DP

http://students.hthma.hightechhigh.org/~lle/11th/

This is a good example of a very professional website. When I went on Lynn's DP i looked at it and it is very professional and organized. All the text is alined perfectly, the colors correspond to each other and is easy to use.

I do not like reading or writing at all very much unless I am interested in the topic. Almost every time when I write I tend to have a lot of runon sentences and most the time they do not make much sence. I hope that ampersand will be a small turing point to end this. I'm hoping that when I write it will be a good experience and I will enjoy while I work on it and read it. I hope when I read the final product of Ampersand that it will be one of the good memories from high school.

Mentor Interview

Rough Draft paragraph for Mentor interview

Coach Cory Tatz is a hard working athletic director and unpaid varsity baseball coach for High Tech High. One regular day that Cory Tatz has is not an easy job to deal with. He is emailing coaches, players, and making sure that every sport is up to its fullest quality. Every sport he has to manage for the High Tech High Village. When I sat down talking to Coach Cory Tatz one big question that I was pondering is "Why High Tech High?" and he answered "The reason High Tech High was that my son was going to another school many years back I didn't like the education he was receiving, the way sports was being done at that school was not exactly what I though it should be or the way it should be or the way it should be done." Coach Cory Tatz is really passionate about sports and good education. He wants to make sure that sports program is ran correctly. Thats why he transitioned to High Tech High. Since 2004 he has been a coach for the Varsity team at the High Tech High Village. 4 out of the 6 years he has been coaching he has made CIF playoffs. "I love baseball more then anything else. It’s my passion in life. There’s noting id rather do than be on a baseball field. And I felt that way for many many years and I’ve coached for a lot of years as a result of that."

I think what makes a good high quality product is when the questions for an interview is really though through to get the important information you need for a good interview or evidence. I found 2 examples that show this really well.

High-quality interviews:

1. http://hoopshype.com/interviews/kobe_friedman.htm

Through the Kobe Bryant interview, the person that is interviewing him makes an interview that makes it flow and tell a little story. The interview is broken into 5 different topics that fit well together.

2. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/The-Shutdown-Corner-interview-with-LaDainian-Tom?urn=nfl,82780

The interview with LaDainian Tomlinson was a good interview because the questions that he was asked were questions that there could be a good detailed response. And thats just what happened. The first 7 questions he was asked, Tomlinson answered very detailed with a lot of info.
