This blog contains the innermost thoughts, feelings, and interpretations of students at Columbus State University who are studying early African American literature.
Please share with each other one good interview question. As Fred Fussell suggested, questions should be open-ended so the person cannot just answer yes or no. Also, questions should elicit an easy response without being too invasive.
I think a good question to start off the interview, especially if you are talking to someone older, is to ask them what it was like growing up in the South.
For example, you could ask, "What is one of your most cherished memories about growing up in (Whereever)? A lot of older people grew up on a farm or in the country, so you could ask them what that was like. (For example, "Did you grow up on a farm or in the city? What were some of your chores/responsibilities?) Just a few ideas
