homework, calendar items, change of meeting day for those who were scheduled nov. 12

...all students from the nov 12 meeting will meet me on Nov 19 instead. I just learned that the 12th is a holiday - Nov 12 meetings moved by 1 week - same hours as shown.
I need to see students only one time. As soon as you have met with me, we are done with that.
The class will meet again on Nov. 26, then on Dec 3 and 10. We will use these meetings to work on the research papers. Be sure to review all student interviews by Nov. 26. Post your reviews of student interviews as you did for interview one. The reviews of interviews two and three are graded work that needs to be posted. Always explain your choice of the three top interviews.

Phases of an interview

Elements of each interview that must show up on your blog:
1. Preparations. Describe the preparations.How did you approach people? When, where, and how did you conduct and record the interview?Whom did you interview?
2. Interview report. Describe the interview. What did surprise you?
3. Country Report. Report on country/region and culture.
4. Transcription. Transcribe the interview as you hear the questions and answers on tape. Then edit the entire interview to make it readable. At least two interviews need to be transcribed. That allows for one report without the transcription (that interview is then limited to a grade of "B" - if you want an "A", do three). Still, we need to know the preparations, approach, interview process, etc. of that interview without transcription (1-3 above). Please be sure to choose interviewees from one country or region.

General considerations: Please be sure to
...always write a thematic statement before you start on a writing project. (This paper is about...)
...always cross-reference information or web-data. Have at least three different sources for whatever you want to use.
...always cite your sources. You find it on the web, you cite it. Citations from the web are easy: url plus date visited

If you use text verbatim, put it in quotes and cite the source. Paraphrasing does not allow using source text unchanged. It means you report on what you read. You need to cite what/whom you are paraphrasing, of course.
