Remember the interview format:
Elements of each interview that must show up on your blog:
Title: My first interview (30-45 minutes in length)
1. Describe your preparations. (1) Interview preparations. (How did you approach people? When, where, and how did you conduct and record the interview? Whom did you interview?)
2. Describe the interview. What did surprise you? How did the interview unfold? (2) Interview report
3. Report on country/region and culture: (3) Country Report
4. Transcribe the interview. (4) Interview transcription
These are "good" examples, not the best.
Sample 1

Sample 2

Sample 3
If the transcription fails, try a narrative about what you learned. Sample 4
When posting your interview, be sure not to use your own full name or that of your interviewee. Use first name and first initial of the middle and also the last name only (in my case: RolandHS). We want to avoid that anyone could google these interviews.

U of Ottawa Writing Centre

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.

Parameters to review interviews:
How is the preparation documented? 0..1..2..3
How good are the personal considerations regarding the interview process? 0..1..2
How comprehensive and informative is the country report? 0..1..2..3..4
How does the interview read? Interesting, good questions/answers? 0..1..2..3..4..5
How well is the complete interview presented on the blog? Clarity, errors, visual appearance all count. 0..1..2..3..4..5..6
