November 11 or 12

Freshmen: Today we began a study of Narrative essays, the second rhetorical device we're going to be able to use. Read the intro to it in Models, page 321-324. We then looked at some models, and began The Grandparent Project. This is what you need to do:
1. Select someone 60 or over, preferably a grandparent, but anyone is okay, to interview. Retell one of the stories they tell you.
2. Complete the interview before the end of the Thanksgiving break.
3. Craft at least 20 open-ended questions (ones that go beyond yes-no or one-word answers).
Your 20 questions are due Friday, typed. Again, complete the interview by the end of the holiday break.
Read for 20 minutes tonight and Wednesday.
