Good topic! A lot of your questions seem to be "close-ended", so if you are going to ask these you might want to rephrase them to get ore depth on your topic.
For example: "Was your school well-rated or poorly-rated?" could be rephrased as "How would you describe what your school looked like?" or by just simply adding a "What's your opinion?" to the end of it.
Two questions you could ask your main source could be:
What was the most memorable time of your life?
What do you think most defined who you are today?
A question you could ask your secondary source could be:
How would you describe Aunt Beth growing up?
You could also interview one of her close friends or another relative of yours.
1. The audience could be anyone because it deals with people of different generations.
2. The author's main point is to compare her lifestyle to her aunts
3. The part that interests me the most is finding out how different it actually was growing up back then and growing up now.
4. The questions could be a little more detailed because a few of them are just a little bit basic and neutral, but overall they're pretty good.
5. The questions for the supporting interviews are the same as you Aunt Beth's, which is a little confusing because they seen a little bit personalized to her.
Good job!
Abbey R, 5th period
Great questions! You had 5 "closed-ended" questions (they are valid and relevant) and 17 "open-ended" questions (total).
Two questions you could ask your grandpa could be:
How would you say this experience changed your outlook on life?
What was the scariest experience you had to face while going through this?
One question you could ask your secondary source could be:
Do you think his time working in the military affected him in any way?
A source that would be relevant to interview could be a close friend of his from the military.
1. The audience could be anyone who has had a family member in the military.
2. The writer's main point in these questions was to gather information about her grandfather's experience in fighting in the air force and how it affected him.
3. It interests me the most on how his family reacted when he went to the military or how his wife dealt with it.
4. I think that your questions were really good and had a good amount of detail given, but you asked question 6 again in question 11.
5. No
Ashley, period 5
Great questions! You had 2 "closed-ended" questions (they are valid and relevant) and 26 "open-ended" questions (total).
Two questions you could ask your grandfather could be:
How would you say this experience changed your outlook on life?
Did you ever regret anything while you were going through this?
One question you could ask your secondary source could be:
What was the first thing he said to you (mom or grandmother) when he was finally better?
A source that would be relevant to interview could be a close friend of his or any of your aunts or uncles.
1. The audience could be anyone who has gone through a family member with a disease or sickness and the purpose of this writing could be to establish hope that things can get better.
2. The writer's main point in these questions was to gather information about her grandfather's experience in fighting a disease that completely changed his way of life.
3. It interests me the most on how he was able to fight through this and what inspired him to keep going and pushing to get better.
4. I think that your questions were really good and had a good amount of detail given.
5. No
