Interviewing

First of all, we look at Clay Marzo.

Read the interview.  We discuss it.

Notice the kind of observation/description going on in this interview.

I return your short essays on audience awareness. In your daybook, list two strengths and two weaknesses of this essay.

Freewrite:  Consider the usefulness (utility) of close observation, in your life, job, and/or the lives or jobs of others. Do you know someone who always sees so much more than you do in a certain situation? Describe the person and why that is. What do YOU mean by "close observation"?  Think about that, and explain.

This is the prompt you will write to tomorrow:  In a short essay of five or so paragraphs, discuss what close observation involves, and explain its usefulness.  Be sure to include detailed examples, an introduction and conclusion.

Homework:

1.  If you have not done your interview, you need to get it done before Wednesday.
