Everyone has signed up for the interview project. That is terrific. We don’t need to scurry around at the end to find someone to interview. Our next step is to set up the interview itself. Here are a few tips for you when you are conducting the interview–
- Be kind and courteous
- If your interviewee starts to take the converstaion in a weird direction, hang on for a minute and see where the ride goes–sometimes this winds up being where you get your big information!
- Keep your ears open for things that don’t make sense and ask for clarrification if they do not clear up on their own.
- At the very least, bring a notebook and write down as much as you can. If possible, bring a tape recorder or a video recorder. This way you will not forget the stories you hear.
Attached to this post is a copy of your rubric. You will receive a copy of this in class. February 29 will be here before you know it. It will be nearly impossible to get a passing grade for this 9 weeks without doing this assignment. Make sure you do get your interview done. The sooner you get it done the sooner you will see how much information you have. Some people may need to arrange a second interview with their interviewee or find a new interviewee completely. Be sure to ask Mr. Clydesdale whenever you come across something that you are unsure of!
