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.

Share your writing with another student. Then, at the very top of your writing, do the following:
1. Explain how you got to this draft in a few sentences. Explicitly state changes you made along the way. Do this with 8+ sentences.
2. Then build in intentional diction and a creative title.
3. Make any other changes you want. Explain those changes.
4. Figure out the word count of just the creative non-fiction and then explicitly state it.
5. You may want to share it outside of class.
6. Create a turnitin.com account and submit the final draft of this piece before class starts on Monday. I recommend your submission title not be creative, but rather it match the name of the assignment in Google Classroom. I suggest labeling your document this way too.

Due:
Submit a typed draft of some creative personal writing. There will likely be some connection to your PPP art project. You will have the option to have it posted in the classroom with all the PPP projects for BTSN. You will not be graded on the connection though. You will be graded instead on your ability to vividly communicate something about you, your PPP, or the way you think. Your draft must be at least 250 words or 10+ lines of poetry. It also must make use of imagery (appeal to one of the four of the senses beyond sight).
Consider revisiting any of your previous free writing. The revision might work best as this typed draft could really be a third iteration!
Have the electronic copy handy at the beginning of class Thursday. You could be asked to submit an electronic copy to turnitin early in the period.
