Writing on the Austin Businesses Field Trip

On your blog, write out what happened to you on Thursday. Choose TWO of the businesses that you visited and tell the story.
Example: "It was a rainy Thursday afternoon. John, Mary and I walked into ......"
TELL THE STORY! Describe the person you interviewed. Describe the store's environment, things you SAW and SMELLED and HEARD and FELT. Then, use your notes to retell the conversation.
Example: "I first asked about the work environment. The employee said that he enjoyed working here because ....." Tell EVERYTHING until you left the store. You will do this TWO TIMES (because you are writing about TWO DIFFERENT BUSINESSES).

Also, search for that business's official website. If they have one (they all should), post a link on your blog.
