Task Two Questions

Ø  What do you anticipate? Why: I anticipate running into tough or difficult questions to think of to ask because i dont want them to feel obligated to answer any personal questions.


Ø  What sort of problems do you think may arise for Task Two: I think it will be hard to find someone that is willing to put thier buisness out and talk about thier past. But once i do find someone that is willing to do so, i think im going to have a hard time conveying thier story, i dont want to downplay and/or over exaggerate thier life's story.


Ø  What sort of questions would you ask and why: I would first ask them about thier background and thier heritage (race, religon ect...). then i would ask them were they grew up and there surroundings such as thier community, schools, homelife, social life. After all that i would want to get in depth with the questions and ask them what thier goals were while growing up, how or if they had any impact on thier community or if thier community had any impact on them. and last i would want to know if they had accomplished thier life's goals or any personal goals while growing up and thoughout there life. I think all of those questions are very vital in an interviewing session because i want to interprete and convey the story in presis detail from begining to end.

  1. Hi Tyler,

    I'm concerned that you have chosen someone. I understand that this may seem like it will be more of a difficult task. Who are you interested in getting to know more about? Are you near any family or close friends who would be willing to talk? If so, select those you know the most about or best. Once you have chosen someone, you can identify a focus. I have provided a few below to show you as an example:

    1) A father who dropped out of HS, received his GED, went to college but stopped and is now continuing his education.
    2) A cousin who had half of his brain removed, he has the mental capacity of a 12 year old, but he is 25.

    These are two focuses that students in your class are focusing on.

    Let me know if you need more help.
    Ms. C
