If you did the optional "author interview/bio" for your Anthology...
Simply name the author whose life you researched and state which format you chose: fakebook vs. interview transcript. Also, briefly reflect on the product and process. Due Thurs, Dec. 17. (minimum 150 words)
I researched the life of Maya Angelou. I chose to create an interview transcript which I ended up including in my anthology. This project was very interesting, as I learned much about Angelou's life that I had not known in the past. Typically, I only known Maya based around her published work. When we discuss her in class, we do not usually have enough time to go into detail about her life so I was glad that I got the opportunity to complete this project. I began this project by reading a few different biographies on her life before I started taking notes. By doing so, I was able to prepare and plan out the questions that I was going to ask as the "interviewer." This also helped to limit my searches, in that I only needed to focus on the information based off of what the question was. At times, it was hard to stick to the point, and not include too much information, making the answer to a question very long. Reflecting back, my favorite part of this project was creating a scene in the beginning, imagining what she would have looked like and what she would have been doing at the time of the interview based on photographs and research.
