Interview

 Mrs. Williams essay on the bowling alley she researched showed how to properly conduct an interview. She didnt just use a list of questions and ask people them. She engaged her interviews by having a normal conversation with people. One example of this is when she was talking to the member of the women's bowling team. She struck up a conversation with the women and didnt use a list of set questions to find out information but let the women talk. She would then ask questions pertaining to the conversation and remain focused on the conversation listening intentively. This was definatley the best example out of the essay on how to conduct a good interview.

Group Presentations

 My group did a presentation on correct font and color use for powerpoint presentations. I feel that we worked very well on the project and split it up perfectly. We all chose a topic to address and present separately and molded the presentation together in the end. It worked out great because we all knew our topic very well. We basically focused on the best way to use fonts and colors. It seemed that it was necesary to use opposite colors when using fonts and backgrounds. The best way to do this is too use a lighter background and a darker font. We also talked about different tools that were available for use when designing a presentation. Overall it was a very well done presentation.
