Find a person to interview who represents a unique subculture. (Remember that a subculture is a specific, unique section of a larger culture.) Find the most interesting person with the most interesting story.
Research the subject you will discuss and the person you will interview to get background for your interview (use your background knowledge, the Internet, the library, and your personal contacts to fill you in on your subject. What can you find out on your own about this subculture?) Keep notes and source cards so you can create a report later.
The name of the person and subculture (subject) of your interview.
• A list of 10 facts (your interview subject may not agree with these) about the subculture from your research (not from the interview).
• A list of 10 facts (your interview subject may not agree with these either) about the person you will interview.
• A list of 10 open-ended focused interview questions in the order you plan to present them.
• The date/time/location you will conduct your interview.
