Get started on the Mentor Interview Transcript and Analysis (MITA) draft that's due 11/16. It is important to carefully READ ALL OF THE ATTACHED SLIDES FIRST. AFTER you read all six slides, it may be most helpful to be guided by slides 1 and 5 primarily and only go look at the others again if you run into issues. Note -you are NOT to transcribe the entire interview!

The post to turnitin.com will open during the first few minutes of class on Thursday. Have your draft ready.

We will have an RCD on Thursday, not Tuesday. It will include chapters 8 and 9 and the partial viewing of a documentary. Referencing the epilogue during the RCD is optional.

Take all 20 OPEN-ENDED questions to the interview. Ask the Italicized 10 first and the others if you have time. Set a timer at the beginning of the interview. Once 30 minutes have passed OR you've asked all 20 questions (whichever comes first), you have permission to end the interview. Remember that you may ask about the mentor's college and career choices. You may also ask about their thoughts are your upcoming choices.

1. You should have already made contact with the interviewee to try to secure permission to do an audio recording of an interview of them between 10/27 and 11/8. Book one hour of their time. The actual interview may only take 30 minutes.

I recommend you use vocaroo to record. I have linked the site here. *If your interviewee would prefer to not be recorded, you can take a friend to take word for word notes of the answers as you conduct the interview. DO NOT conduct the interview while attempting to take notes yourself. It is your job to focus on asking the questions and listening to the answers. Yet, you must have a written record of the live conversation. It will not do to have your interviewee type their answers by way of an email. The live communication is key.

2. Once the interview details are all set up, be sure to update the Stream post where I asked you to give me all the details.

3. In a Google doc, generate 20+ great open-ended questions. Open-ended means they don't call for a yes, no, or other single word answer. 0-5 of the questions can be about YOU. You may ask your mentor what careers the mentor sees for you for example. Primarily though, the interview is about their journey from high school to career/s. You must submit 20 open-ended questions to turnitin today before the end of class.

Important dates: conduct the interview between 10/27and 11/8. The recording is due 11/9. A partial transcript and analysis of your recording is due 11/16. DO NOT transcribe and analyze until you get further instruction.
