Before Interview: purpose. Become familiar with subject and think of questions. Contact interviewee (explain why you want to interview them and set up an interview date)
During: ask informational and direct questions. Don't ask the hardest questions first. Be objective. Have materials ready (recording devices, papers, pens)

Why is it so hard to be an artist? after high school and college it is difficult to make a living with art. Why do artists have to be the best of the best? What about those students who want to be artists but don't follow through because it's "impractical"? What about those students who are successful? What constitutes being successful?
story (my perspective): 9/11 and future generations. How will 9/11 be remembered/taught in schools? This generation's grandchildren will think of 9/11 as ancient history, similar to how we know of WWII through our grandparents. Will September 11th become just another date that history teachers through out to pop quiz students like they would with pearl harbor or Gettysburg? Someday, 9/11 will be remembered by students as statistics and facts. Has 9/11 had such a significant impact that it changes the way history is taught? Does our modern documentation help the way it could be taught?
write something on gender issues

ReplyDeleteLike the idea of covering the Pepperell Squares.
