A few weeks ago we had to find someone to interview about our topic to help with our research. The interview would help us with our research. I was excited to interview someone because it would help me with my research.
To interview someone we would have to search up on the internet some experts on our topic. My topic is Hula. When we found someone on the internet, we would find their email or phone number and call/email them. Another way you could find someone to interview is to find the author of an article on your topic that you liked. I found 3 people and emailed them but they didn’t respond. So my Dad looked for some Hula schools near me and found one. He found a teacher that works there and called her, and she accepted the interview. Her name was Luana Haraguchi. One thing that was challenging about finding someone to interview was finding their phone number or email address.
Instead of doing the interview on call or zoom, we did it in person. Luana said that she had a Hula show in Chinatown in Columbus Park, and that we could do the interview there and we accepted. The show would have lots of activities including origami, puppy therapy, self defense, and more. It would start at 11 am. One of the activities was hula. So on the day of the show, we drove to Chinatown. We met outside of the park before the show started and we sat on a bench and I asked her my questions. The interview went as expected. Luana was really helpful and gave me a lot of information about hula. She knew a lot about the history too. One thing I learned is that it can take 5-10 years for a Hula student to become a Hula dancer.
Doing the interview was really fun because I got to learn a lot about Luana, and because I got to learn a lot about Hula. I also had a fun time conducting the interview because it was my first interview.
