1. Select a person to interview who is an immigrant or has migrated to this country.
2. Interview/Talk to them about their experiences as an immigrant: What made them want to come to this country?, How did they did they come to this country?, What experience did they have on the journey?, How is life for them now that they are here? Is living in America what they expected? What effect has this move had on their relationship with other family members ie. those they left behind? How has the move to America effected their children? Do they regret their decision to come?
The above are examples of the type of questions you should ask the person you interview.
Remember to take notes or record the interview so you can go back and reference it while you write your essay.
3. Include information in your paper about the person’s country of origin. This means you must research a bit about the political and/or social issues that were happening when the person left their country. This is where your Works Cited page will come from.
This essay represents a major portion of your final grade so please do your best. All papers should be in 12 point font in Times New Roman, 1.5 space – do not double space. Failure to use the correct font and size will result in reduced points. You must have a Cover page, three pages of writing, and a Works Cited page. That means there will be a total of five pages.
DO NOT turn in a page and a half or less or points will be deducted. DO NOT turn in an essay that
consist of your question and their answer as though it is a transcript. For example,
Me: What country did you come from?
Them: I’m from South Africa.
This is not an essay format and you will loose points.
