Beach Project

What are you discovering so far?
-So far,I am learning a lot about Illnesses people get due to polluted ocean water. When I interviewed Dr.Rodney Hood I learned about the symptoms and what people can do to prevent getting these Illnesses. He told us during the interview that the most common Illnesses swimmers/surfers get are ear infections and he also said that it is not the bacteria in the water that causes the ear infections but it is the water that gets into the ear and causes it to swell up.
What surprises you about this project?
- I haven't really found anything surprising about this project so far, but I am sure that I will once I get out and start interviewing people.

What are your next steps to have a cool product and a great piece of writing?
- Today in class we did a peer critique, and I think that my next step is so schedule when I am going to interview lifeguards and also to find out when I am going to go out and interview swimmers and surfers. I need to find transportation and get that figured out to. Another step is to make a more descriptive story board so as soon as I come back from break I can get straight to editing the video. So those things need to be done at least by the end of this week.
