Hello students!
I hope you are doing well! Below are a few reminders and instructions for the format of the interviews you're doing.
I hope you are doing well! Below are a few reminders and instructions for the format of the interviews you're doing.
.Please post your interviews by March 2. Remember that your aim is to ask questions that will help you gather another point of view (particularly if you're pretending to interview an object), and follow up some questions with more specific, open-ended questions (these follow up questions often come organically as you're interviewing someone). The exercise Professor Lim did in class during my absence and the exercise we did Tuesday should help give you an idea of how to ask questions that give you good insights into your subjects.
To format your posts, please think rhetorically beginning with audience. A reader needs to know who (or what) you are interviewing and why. So your first paragraph should introduce the subject, the interviewee.
If you're interviewing a person, you should explain your relationship and why you wanted to interview them. You should give the reader details about the interview itself, such as where you met, when, and so on. Also, format the questions as a typical Q & A sequence.
If you're doing a faux interview with an object, you have two choices:
For all interviews, please don't forget to structure your byline at the end of your post. These posts should be about 500-700 words.
If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
And above all, have fun!

If you're doing a faux interview with an object, you have two choices:
- Structure it like a regular interview post with a person, and get creative about where you met for the interview. Obviously, your creativity should make a setting appropriate to your object.
- Take the questions you've created and do some research on the answers. Provide the reader with a short narrative based on your research findings. The narrative should include concrete details and facts. You have creative freedom here.
For all interviews, please don't forget to structure your byline at the end of your post. These posts should be about 500-700 words.
