Why Borat? Because he was determined to understand Americans by interviewing them.
And so we move on to your own interviews.
Your class interviews will be assigned randomly by number once everyone is here. Before actually conducting the interview, you should have a relatively narrow topic that you would like to pursue, not a general tell me about yourself. Perhaps you would like to focus on an aspect of childhood, hobby, future objectives, cultural traditions, a travel experience, views on almost anything. The point- as you saw yesterday- is to come to the table prepared. Take some classtime to do some research.
The actual interview: allow 15 minutes; choose your setting (you need a semblance of privacy); how are you taking notes? remember you need a quote. eye contact, body language; listen, listen, listen and give the speaker plenty of breathing space to fill in the silences.
Take a picture for the actual article, either with my camera or your phone, etc.
Due by the close of class on Monday.
