Post links to three or more example articles that could provide inspiration for your Ampersand article. Along with each link, write at least one paragraph in which you explain what that example provides for you in the way of inspiration, a good model to work from, a guide, etc.

This is an article about Lady Gaga's career. It's in order of what event came first. It also describes where she came from and who she is now. This article tells background information while telling the whole story of her career. I think that I could use this idea to talk about the communication skills I gained throughout the course of internship.

This article is about overcoming the communication barrier in the work place which is what I had to try to do while working for Coastkeeper. I was thinking about doing something like that except talking about the steps to take to overcome communication problems. I was thinking it would be cool to do a communication skill development from someone other than a "professional" :)

I think that I could use ideas from this article as well. I like that this is an article about learning form experience and I think that I could do that as well. I learned a lot through internship by listening to people and actually working for something other than school. I'd like to show the reader how they can learn from their experiences and others by listening to convos.

Post links to two exemplary interviews that you can use as models for your mentor interview.
Under each link, describe the writing techniques that the author/interviewer uses to create a finished piece of writing that both accurately portrays the interview subject as well as results in a polished work that the reader can enjoy.
Consider the structure of the overall piece, what information is in the beginning and/or end, if an introduction is used, if there is additional writing throughout the piece, if there are references to any follow up questions, physical formatting, etc.
It seems that the author uses - to show a break in the answers or a point where Gaga got off track. It seems like -s are used as a connecter between thoughts that weren't all said at that time. I also think that the author took out all the umms and wells. Lastly it seems like some thoughts weren't complete kind of. It's like they are jumpy.
The intro questions her actual place in the music world. Not in a bad way but to make her seem better than people make her out to be. It just gives background information to tell the reader who she is and who she relates to.

The author takes out unwanted umms. It seems like words were changed to make it more concise. It is all shortened. Its the most important quotes.
The author uses setting to tell when the interview took place (important it was his last interview) The author also gives background information about the interviewee. The interviewer gives quotes about him too.

What have you read lately (say, since last semester), that you found interesting?
I was reading information about FCC on their website.
I was reading information about FCC on their website.
Why did it catch your attention?
I want to go to FCC for college so I was looking at what i needed to get in there and I thought it was interesting that they wouldn't send me info about the college because I guess I'm not close enough to college age. I also found it interesting that at the end of the year the students project is to put their clothing in a fashion show.
