Interview Letter

By the end of the weekend, you should all have conducted your interview and started the research for your "problem" paper. A letter (in full block format) is due on Tuesday including the following:
  • A paragraph about your interview subject - who did you talk to? why is that person qualified? when and where did the interview take place?
  • A paragraph about the information you got from the interview - what was most useful? what are you using in your paper? how did it go?
ALSO, please start looking online for information regarding your topic. If your problem is local, then look locally (The News Star, for example). Search using the techniques you learned last year.

Don't forget about EBSCO - now available to River Oaks students:
  • username - riveroaks
  • password - mustangs
