Part A: Interview and Report
The report must be a minimum of 500 words (about two full pages), double spaced and typed, with a cover page. It should describe in some detail what the student has learned about the individual whom they interviewed. It can be described as a social history which reflects accurately and specifically the individual you interview – their personal history, family, current status, life issues, etc. In order to receive an excellent grade, it must also meet the criteria for a formal paper; that is, be grammatical and neatly laid out. If appropriate, a copy of the written permission must be attached.
