After the interviews write a summary that includes answers to the points listed below. Students may work in pairs or independently. Each student must submit their own written work (2-3 pages) even if interviews were done with a classmate. A typical paper will be two or three pages long. You must complete TWO interviews and write a paper that addresses the questions listed below.
Please feel free to add more questions during the interview.
