Homework for 11/29--11/30

You've just received a new book: Maus .... read it! (just read as much as you want)
You've also received a new project with it! (At the bottom of this posting)
Begin the first part of the interview process (20 questions), turn those in next class period. We will be using them for class activities, so make sure you don't forget!
Also, study for toss around!

For this project, you, like Artie, will interview an older relative (35 years +) about a significant event in that person’s life, and like Artie, you will tell that person’s story in a non-traditional way.

You will need to create a list of questions before you interview the person (20 questions to ask) in order to draw out the story. You will also be prepared to ask follow up questions for the same purpose.

Questions should be phrased in such a way so that the interviewee doesn’t answer just yes or no, but tells a story. You will write questions, transcribe the interview (typed, times new roman 12, single spaced), then create a project that tells your interviewee’s story… in NON TEXT FORMAT. This can be any format chosen by you (art, power point… though you must see me for guidelines, song, video… something that you like)
