Research Tech Test



I got this picture from AP Images under "Girl Playing Volleyball." I play a lot of volleyball each week, and this represents the psychotic amount of practicing we do and all the emphasis placed on sports. Here's the link: http://accuweather.ap.org/cgi-bin/fastlight.pl?+Intl_Photos+8924224+accuweather.ap.org%3A80+++++New_putmenu3+


THIS picture was also from AP Images, under "Homework." This is the only one that looked like it represented anything involving homework, though. So... much... homework... The link: http://accuweather.ap.org/cgi-bin/fastlight.pl?+Intl_Photos+32838731+accuweather.ap.org%3A80+++++New_putmenu2+


Again, i used AP Images under "Sleeping" to find this adorable picture. This is totally me!!! I have needed a bunch of sleeeeep lately, but-alas- have been getting less and less.

Tourism

I wasn't able to find a whole lot on the committee requirement, but I did go to the Tulip Festival site (www.tulipfestival.org) since the Tulip Festival's one of LC's main events. I think one good piece of information to convince people to be on the committee is this-- the entire month of April is devoted to the festival! Kind of insane, if you ask me, but there you go.

For my next piece of info, I searched "LA CONNER TOURISM" in Google. It did not turn up a whole lot. However, I did find the La Conner Chamber of Commerce site. I think this is a good site, because it isn't just some random blog that could say anything. It's the official site!!!

Hey there, Girlie! Can't wait to take action shots while waiting for the ferry!!!! Anywho....

I must give you a 3.75. Reason being...

On section uno, I gave you a 4. I loved the pictures and you perfectly explained the search process for the images. Each and every one was fantabulous!

Section Dos! You provided perfect detail on one link... and did quite well explaining why you couldn't use the other links. Brava!!!

So, let's see. 4+3.5=7.5/2= 3.75!!!

Was there any information on the photographers for the pics you've chosen? Did you browse by topic or do a search using the terms you've listed?

As for the tourism, what makes the "official site" better than "some random blog"? How do you know that what is on the official site is reliable and not the work of an official, but otherwise random, blogger?

Hey Mandie!
I would give you a 4 because you followed the directions well and you completed every part of it. Also, your pictures and your descriptions are well put together and detailed.
