When I finished my script I had to make a video on the person I interviewed life. I made a chart though with everything I would put into the video like the voice over pictures and text. So then I created my video and started going back and forth looking at what I had to put in. It wasn’t hard creating and putting in the text and images but when I had to do my voice over it was a nightmare.I had no place to were there was no talking or yelling.I had to work with the noise and all the screaming though.

When I had to get my pictures it was super easy because the person I interviewed were able to lend me some pictures of were she lived and her back home with her child. She was able to lend me this little wooden board which had a prayer she and her family would say every night.All I did was inserted them into my video and there my video was there.I put in some quotes she said during the interview. Then after I was done with the video all that was left was the voice over. I printed out my script and read to the mike.It wasn’t the hard part recording its just when I listened to it was trash with lots noise. But It was the last day and I wanted to finish so I didn’t mind. I did try a few times on the super trashy slides with the horrible voice over and got them to be a little better.Which I was pretty glad about.

But I was able to finish on time and that’s all I worried about that day. And when we listened to in front of the whole class it was great.It was the best out of all in my opinion!!! 

After our interview we had to make a script in our own words instead of copying what the person said when you interviewed them.We got a graphic organizer which helped us type out our slide number,images,text and narration.But first I started mine on a more simple graphic organizer.It only had two columns which were the elements columns and narrative columns. For the element column we had to write our question and for the narrative column we had to write what we had to say.

When I started typing my script it wasn’t that hard because all I had to do was take what she said, and make it into my own words.But what was difficult was when I had to try to understand what she said because she was not a fluent American so it was hard on some questions to think of what to say because she left out some words. I did try to complete and finish her sentence, so I had to listen to the recording over and over again. But, I was finally able to get them done. I had to listen to it with headphones at home to get what she was trying to say then I would go to different questions that came out with very similar answers. Then, I was able to finish the other questions.

After I finished the script I put onto the four column chart.Which then I had to think of the text and images I would have to put in my video. But it wasn’t as hard as typing it onto the four column chart. But I did finish.

On the day I interviewed Anna, I was excited but also nervous. Since English is not Anna’s first language, it was hard for me to understand everything she was saying. I video taped the interview on my iPhone so that I could listen to it more carefully after the interview. When I started the interview she could answer the first two questions,with a lot of details. Since I wrote the questions before the interview, some of the answers to many questions were kind of similar, such as what she missed in Nicaragua.

But I did lose a few questions by taking them out because some questions made her upset and sad and almost made her eyes watery. So I took out two of the questions because I knew they would upset her even more that were supposed to give me more details.At the end of the interview, she was happy,because I was able to ask a happy question which was what are your favorite parts about America and she answered some in funny ways. I was able to get a lot of detail though on the question I had to ask her on what was her favorite part about America,because she converted her cordobas into dollars which helped me understand how much less cordobas is from American dollars. I think the question that gave me the most information in the whole interview was when I asked her why she moved to America.It told me a huge part of her I didn’t even realize.

Over all the interview went very successfully and on some questions I got information that I could have used.

When I was assigned this immigration project I was nervous because I thought there would be nobody to interview. I went home and did the questions first although I did not know anybody to interview. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be to create questions. I made 15 questions in total. But I realize I had to make them so that they were not like yes or no questions so I deleted all 15 and created 13 open ended questions,Which are questions that the person you interview can say something about it.

I interviewed Anna, who is the person who cleans my house.  But during the time when I had to find someone I was thinking of interviewing my friend. Then I asked my mom for some options of people to interview and she Anna my cleaner.I thought of questions to ask her like questions that I thought were important to learn about her life. In my planning, I first thought she would be a regular person who just took a plane to America for no reason. But when I thought of some questions I made them so that she could answer them in anyway. When I started making the questions I thought of questions that didn’t take so long so that I would have more time for other questions too. I did not know when to interview her so when she came to my house I  would ask her some of my questions.

I am going to interview her on Tuesday. And I am  happy about that.
