1. Brainstorm and Prewrite:
- When you brainstorm your topic/interview questions remember to think about what you want to learn.
- Create a brainstorm cloud. Your thoughts and inquiries can become your research.
- If you ask interesting questions you'll get interesting answers.
2. Write Up First Draft After Interviews:
- Think about the answers that you received.
- Decided which answers made you think.
- Take a look at the interview answers and think about them in relation to yourself. Is there anything there that you want to think or learn about?
- Example: You interviewed an immigrant to America. They mentioned the idea of the "American Dream". Find a source that considers the "American Dream" and if achieving that dream makes people happy.
