How To Write An Interview Assignment

Writing an essay based on an interview takes a different form than most traditional essays you may be used to writing. Normally, you do not have to interview someone. You can simply write the paper based on the concepts you have been learning in class. You can even find interviews by searching Google. To get an "A" on this or any assignment, the most important strategy is to structure it by writing one paragraph about each concept from the assignment instructions.

The purpose of doing an interview is to gain insight into the concepts being studied in class. Below is a guideline on how to write an interview assignment:

1. Convert Your Concepts into Paragraphs

Use your concepts by thinking of a person you might interview for the assignment. What would he/she say about immigration laws? What would he/she say about discrimination? Use your imagination, and write a paragraph about what you think he/she might say in response to questions about each concept.

If you have no idea of anyone who meets the description of the person you need to interview, search Google for a few interviews.

2. Get A Theme

After using the method above for each concept from class, try to find a "theme" that is "emerging" in the interview. A theme is one word or phrase that captures the main insight you gained from doing the interview.

For example:

• If you interview an immigrant, you might find that many of the interview questions he/she answers indicate isolation. Therefore, isolation can be your paper's theme.
• If you interview an elected official, you might find that many answers have something to do with feeling judged or scrutinized.
• 3. Add A "Paragraph Topic Sentence” And A "Thesis Statement”

What will be the thesis statement (keen observation) of your interview paper? You cannot know the theme until it "emerges" in the paragraphs, so write the body paragraphs first. This way it will be easy to make the thesis statement (a keen observation) about the theme. After that, the trick is to add a Paragraph Topic Sentence to the beginning of every paragraph to introduce the main idea of the paragraph in a way that supports your keen observation.

Lastly, Check what you have written to make sure it fulfills every requirement in the rubric, grading criteria, or assignment instructions. Be sure to use terms from the assignment instructions to make it clear that each requirement is fulfilled.
