Reports need to be blogged for all three interviews, but only two containing transcripts will be handed in.

The purpose of the report:

Describe the preparations, execution, post-production, observations and lessons learned from an interview with international students, and produce the transcript of the conversation as part of the two reports that will be graded. That means that you need to write reports for all three interviews. Only two of them will also contain the transcript. The one without should indicate why you chose not to transcribe the interview.

1. Preparations made (questions, objectives, locations, technology, etc.) (1/2 page)

2. How did you approach people, how did you secure three for interviews? (1/2 page)

3. When, where, and how did you conduct the interview? (1/2 page)

4. Whom did you interview, provide an abstract of the interviewee's biography (1/2 page)

5. Describe the interview process from your vantage point. Was there any part that impressed you, moved you, gave pause to you? (1 page)

6. Provide a short report about the country and culture of your interviewee (1 1/2 pages)

7. Attach the transcript, create a first page with your name, class, interviewee's name, and her or his country of origin, as well as the interview date.

8. Post the entire report on your blog.

9. If you want to include the audio portion, you will get extra credit. In that case, burn a CD or DVD for me and include report and .wav files.

Your first interview report is due on October 27 in your blog and on paper/CD to me. Bring it to class next week. The last interview is due two weeks later on November 10, 2009 at 5PM when class starts.
