On Wednesday, we went to film our first interview. We scheduled it with Allison Fraley. When we got there, the interview went great. She was really nice and gave some really good answers. When we were done with the interview, Ms. Fraley was so nice that she introduced herself to one of her coworkers. His name was Donald Fujimoto He was also really nice. He agreed to do a n interview with us and he also gave some really good answers. We know a lot more about the topic now and I think that this quarter will be a lot better than last quarter.


Here's my blog on the other people that I plan to Interview

   Today was the first carwash of our school year. Every year, our entire class travels to the mainland to participate in the STN Convention. Because flying to the mainland is so expensive, we need to do a lot of fundraisers. These fundraisers include the annual breakfast, craft fairs, and car washes. Yesterday was the first craft fair, and today was the first carwash. The carwash was super fun. We only washed about fifty cars or so, but it was fun to hang out with your friends. There were a lot of cool cars too. There was one truck that was elevated so high, the top of my head was about the height of the bottom of the door, (I'm 5'9"). There was even a motorcycle with a skeleton strapped on the back. Here are a few pictures of us washing cars and having fun.

   Our (Carter and I) second quarter project is on the Pay as You Throw program. We are at that stage with this project, and we hope that it will go a lot smoother than last quarter. There are more than three people that we would like to interview, but for the purpose of this blog, I will only state three. These people are Mel Rapozo, JoAnn Yukimura, and Allison Fraley.

   We are going to Interview Mel Rapozo because he cast the lone dissenting vote against the approval of the bill 2551 (the Pay as You Throw Bill). We believe that his interview will help our video because it will help us to share both sides of the controversy so that we share a more accurate story. Mel Rapozo's interview will also help us to understand more about the problems that the Pay as You Throw bill will have.

   We will Interview JoAnn Yukimura because she was one of the council members that voted to pass bill 2551. She will help us to explain about what kind of benefits the bill will have. Like Mel Rapozo, she will also help to provide another side to the controversy.

   We also would like to interview Alyson Fraley. She is promotes the bill and would be great for explaining the purpose of the bill because I believe that the aided in the creation of it. On all of the pages and websites that we have been to, it says to contact her if anyone has any questions so I figure that she would have a lot of answers about the bill in general.

   These are three of the people that I plan to interview for our second quarter project. They are Mel Rapozo, JoAnn Yukimura, and Allison Fraley. I think that these people will help to give a lot of information about the bill and the consequences that it will have. We also plan to interview other people like a county council member and people in the community, but I believe that these people will be the biggest characters in our story.  

   Last year, our project had a bit of a slow start and a rushed finish. This did not help the quality of my work at all. So that this project will be better than last quarter's, we (Carter and I) have gotten a start on it sooner. We have already finished the information gathering of our video. The TIAS and Five Step Outline is also completed. This is much faster than last quarter. We had two project changes last quarter so we didn't get started till later in the game. We also have the contact information of four people that we would like to interview once we get the TIAS and Five Step Outline approved. I have a feeling that this quarter will be a much better quarter than last one! Click the button below to check out my TIAS And Five Step Outline.
