Immigration Interview

This project is very interesting. It contains me having to choose and person I want that is willing to take the time for me to interview for the immigration project. After they agreed I would have to come up with 20 questions and then out of the 20 of them I would have to pick ten to 15 0f them. Then I would interview them and make a video around their answers. Overall so far the project has been great.

When I was making this list I did not just make a list of random questions and instead would take a lot of time coming up with them. When coming up with them I would have to make them all open-ended questions because without them being open ended then I would not be able to get all the information that I need. Also in information is very interesting and without them being open-end the only answers I would get is yes or no. Also, a useful way of getting open-ended questions is to simply just say why at the end of the question so if at first the question is not the open end I would just say why or explain. In my opinion, resources are not needed for getting your questions but when you are stuck and can not come up with a question take a mental break or ask someone for advice.

So far I thought that the interview was the best part of the project. Because it was hard for me to meet up with my interviewee I had to call which was as good. About 30 minutes after school, I called her on my phone making sure I was already because I did not want to waste their time or mine.I told her what I was doing again just to refresh her because I told her in advance and basically just started reading them off. One thing that I think is important is to make sure that you are saying it in a nice way because first of all this topic in some cases could be sensitive an also there taking the time for you so you want to say everything in a nice tone. One of the most interesting things that I learned was that at the time you were only allowed to bring anything under 2000 rubles which meant they had to give away most of their expense items but days before they were told that their dog was Russian property which meant they were not allowed to bring it with them so they had to sneak him with them when on the train he did not know what happened and where he was so he barked which lots of noise and almost got caught but luckily they got to Allen town Pennsylvania safe and sound

In conclusion, this project has been going great so far and I can not wait to continue the rest of the project.
