Pets at Taylor

Many teachers and students at Taylor are very animal friendly. Some of them have pets you probably haven't seen before. Mr. Spencer, Mr. Sullivan, and an eighth grader named Johnny have some pets you may find interesting.

Mr. Spencer has a Siberian Husky named Storm. An interesting fact about Storm is that she has one blue eye and one brown eye. Mr. Spencer enjoys taking Storm on walks and playing with her. Siberian Husky's liveabout 12-15 years.

Mr. Sullivan has a pet tortoise named, Scout the Christmas Turtle. Scout doesn't need water

Mr. Sullivan has a pet tortoise because when he eats grass, he absorbs the water. Scout was one of Mr. Sullivan's friends pets who had asked him to watch his tortoise for two weeks, while he went to Peru. Mr. Sullivan has had the tortoise now for two years. Mr. Sullivan's friend still has not come to get his tortoise but doesn't want him to give it away. Scout is about the size of a basketball in diameter. Many people like pet tortoises because they are very generational since they can live about 150 years. Scout is eight now.

Some students have really cool pets too. One student named Johnny has a Chinchilla. Johnny's chinchilla is named Bandit. He says, "Bandit is a really cool pet to have because he climbs on walls and is super fuzzy." An average chinchilla lives 10-12 years.

Interviewing

An interview is a conversation between two or more people to get information. An interviewer asks questions, and recieves answers from the interviewee. In a journalistic interview a journalist interviews an interviewee and in other forms of interviews a reporter is the interveiwer.

When preparing for an interview you want to plan out the questions you are going to be asking. You also want to write down all the facts you learn about the subject. An important thing to remember while interviewing someone is you want to ask a question and then recieve a long answer, you don't want to be the one talking the whole time. When you are interviewing you should definately take notes on all the good information your gathering, instead of trying to remember everything they said after.

After the interview I will try to shape my interview notes into an article. I will use the information I have learned about interviewing by always asking lots of questions and checking the facts.  I'll try not to be the one talking the whole time in an interview.
