Family Interview Assignment



Family Interview Assignment

For this assignment, your job is to interview one person in your family in order to get to know them better and preserve their life story for future generations. I would like for you to interview (if possible) your oldest living relative (that is still able to accurately recall their history). However, I realize that grandparents may have passed away or live way too far away to interview. Therefore, you may need to interview one of your parents, which is fine.

Assignment:

1) Ask all 50 questions and write down their responses

2) Type up your reaction to the interview

a. Summarize some of the key facts from their story in one paragraph

b. How did the interview affect you?

c. What lessons did you learn about life?

d. What surprised you? Why?

e. How did the interviewee respond to the questions (their reaction to this attention)?

f. What especially interests you that you would like to find out more about? Why?

3) Minimum of two paragraphs
