Have you ever immigrated somewhere? When my class started the immigration project, I knew it would be an interesting project. Why? Because the first thing we had to do was find an immigrant and prepare questions for he or she to answer. For me, that wasn’t much of a challenge because my parents were immigrants and they emigrated from China.

Now, my class wasn’t just assigned to make up questions for nothing. We had to prepare questions that were open-ended for the immigrant that we were interviewing to answer. So I just decided that I would interview my mom. My teacher said that we had to come up with ten to fifteen questions for our interview. At first, I had trouble coming up with that many open-ended questions, but then, my teacher gave us a few examples and I used some of them and added them to my list of questions. Also, my teacher said that it would be easier for us to take a video of the interview so we could go back to it later on in the project.

I can’t wait to interview my mom!
