interview essay

• Collect questions and answers related to topic (What situation/topic, interviewee main interest are given?)
• Arrange notes in a logical order. What will be the main thesis/statement/problem? What will the audience be told about the individual/situation? What position on the subject do interviewee and interviewer have?
• Start with (useful) anecdote and/or short characterization of the person you interview (name, appearance, why interview is done).
• Structure: question and answer form. Use interesting questions, make sure the answers fit the questions.
• Language: Make sure the register/style of interviewer and interviewee are appropriate (they may be different!) Remember to use "spoken language"!
• Last step: careful proofreading
