For anyone who missed class the day this was assigned...
Oral History Research Project
Please conduct an Oral History interview of a person who immigrated to the United States. Your interviewee must have been old enough at the time to remember details about his or her country of birth.
Develop a series of specific questions prior to your interview. What do you want to know? What can you find out through research before you meet for the interview? What can you find out only by experiencing the person’s face-to-face presence? During the interview, attempt to find answers to the questions you have developed. After the interview, attempt to fill any gaps that remain.
Be sure to record your interview in some manner. This recording or transcript of your interview is a primary source document and should not be discarded.
Write a paper that attempts to answer one or more of your questions using the recording or transcript of your interview as a primary source. 4-8 pages.
DUE: Monday, October 10
