American Studies Assignment
Assigned—Day 1
Due—Day 2
1. Decorate your plain, boring manila writing
folder to make it better reflect you.
 Create original images, cut and paste, or
whatever.
 Remember, though, that you will be using
this folder this year so 3-D decorating is
not an option.
2. Write twenty minutes worth of questions that
you will ask your peer interviewee tomorrow.
 Try to elicit interesting anecdotal
information.
 Keep your questions open-ended.
 Remember that your goal is to help us
get to know your interviewee.
 Also remember the Golden Rule. (Your
interviewee will be interviewing you,
too.)
