Final Project Update

Right now, my project is going pretty well.  I just emailed the four people I want to interview yesterday and I already got two answers back.  They both agreed to be interviewed over the phone and I'll be calling them both sometime later this week.  I think that the five questions that I'm going to ask are pretty legit and will be really great to show to the class.  As for my presentation, I think I might do a powerpoint that contains five pages for each person and their answers to each of the questions.  I'll probably just read right off of it I guess, and this way it might be able to be used for future classes.  Hopefully, my two other contacts will get back to me and I think it's going to be pretty cool interviewing them.

  1. I'm glad that you've arranged for interviews, now the question is how to creatively and engagingly to present them. I think just reading the interviews wouldn't be that exciting. Will you be recording the interviews? Could you include some voice clips? How will you connect them to the larger themes of the course? Remember you want to show that you've learned and also teach your classmates. What can we learn from these interviews? What connections can be made to the substance of the course? You need to do more than just present their ideas, you need to contextualize them.
