ReplyDeleteThis week you are creating a final product with your mentor interview (I know that some of you interviewed co-workers or other people at your internship, but I'm referring to this assignment as the "mentor interview").
ReplyDeleteOn Friday, you will have created a finished product that is similar to a professional interview. For our purposes, we will us the Rolling Stone interviews attached below to start getting ideas. Your final product will have:
1. A polished introductory piece of writing similar to what a professional would create.
2. A revised, smooth-reading interview.
3. At least one picture with a caption.
4. A professionally-styled layout, using the technology and software of your choice.
5. More? What else makes for a high-quality, professional final product?
By 3:30pm on Friday, you will have sent an email to me, your mentor (or interview subject), and another respected adult (a parent, another teacher, etc.) inviting them to read your interview—please include a link to your interview, which is also linked to your internship DP page. This could be a PDF or webpage, but it should be connected to your internship DP page by 3:30 pm on Friday.
Completed mentor interviews will receive up to 50 points, based on a rubric we will create in class.
Key points of an interview:
ReplyDeleteAlthough an interview is often presented as a conversation, a printed interview is typically not a transcript of exactly what was said. Here are some acceptable forms of editing, but when you are doing these, remember to follow the two ultimate rules for editing interviews (and quotes in general)”
The first ultimate rule for editing interviews (and quotes in general): Do not change the meaning of the person’s words! Every edit you make needs to follow this rule.
The second ultimate rule for editing interviews (and quotes in general): Get permission for your edits and revisions. If your edits are minor, you can call the person and clear it with them. If you have made substantial edits, changed sentences, moved significant pieces of text around, etc., then email the draft to the person and clear it with them.
You can remove extraneous words, extra sentences or other content that is not directed towards your writing (as long as you don't change the meaning of the words).
You can change the order of questions and answers (as long as you don't change the meaning of the words).
You can remove things you said (as long as you don't change the meaning of the words).
You can polish or fine tune sentences for clarity if you have the person’s permission (as long as you don't change the meaning of the words).
In general, you can are editing and revising to create a polished piece of writing that reads smoothly and logically. Just like any other piece of writing, you are creating a captivating, enjoyable (and typically educational) experience for the reader. It just so happens that this piece of writing is mostly made up of quotes.
You can leave in grammatical errors and/or otherwise problematic speech—in fact, you should leave it in if it illuminates other information, provides substantial character detail, etc. If you want to leave this stuff in, and you are concerned that it appears to your audience that you have transcribed or written something wrong, then put the word “sic” in brackets after the error, like this: [sic].
