It is hoped to be a valuable learning experience.1) Choose a family member to interview. 2)  Obtain Interviewee’s permission. 3) Disclosure of Confidentiality:  All submissions of Family Interviews, once posted to Canvas Grades, will be deleted to protect the intellectual property of the family member. 4) Assignment Prompts:Subject of interview/Storyteller may be from family of origin, family of procreation, extended family, blended family, etc. (Can also be a partner of a committed/long-term relationship). No minors please.Interview may occur in person/face-to-face, via phone calls, Face Time, Skype, Zoom, etc., as means of two-way contact.Using a list of questions , from “Sample Interview Questions”, (see module for links) and/or from student’s own list, begin Interview with questions and take notes. It is not a dialogue or discussion; you are the listener, and person being interviewed is the speaker.You are the listener of the speaker’s “story” and will summarize the speaker’s views and reflections. As part of assimilating the responses into a summary, you will relate the Interviewee’s story with two or more concepts of family relationships that were identified or applied in their family story experiences. (See examples in “Submission criteria” below.)Write the Interviewee’s “family story”.  In reflecting the perspective of the storyteller, you will incorporate the  “Marriages & Families in the 21st Century…” textbook with two or more examples of family concepts, term applications, examples in the studies, etc. See “References…” below.Must be minimum two (2) pages in length. Student will identify their adult  Interviewee by relationship to the family member.    ” I chose to interview my father” or “My grandma was open to answering my questions…”, etc.   There is no set order or listing of which questions to use; questions will be at the discretion of the student, who as interviewer, is “getting a story” by asking about topics that relate to the Interviewee’s family story.  This assignment is a personal story reflection and should be treated with respect and confidentiality.  If some questions don’t work, be prepared to follow the story rather than use a certain set of interests.  Remember that you are the listener; it is not a dialogue.Must list five (5) of the questions that were utilized in obtaining responses and information. These should be listed separately at end of paper. References to the author, text, or studies, etc. should be incorporated into the story, and not cited separately.  Using verbiage like, “According to Tasha Howe, bioecological theory explained why abused children might be socially unskilled,  which resonated with my father’s childhood.”   Or another example:       “The ‘modern family’ concept, coined by Silverstein & Auerbach (2015), defines a dual earner household where roles and responsibilities in the home are unequal”.  This was the family model that my mother talked about when I asked her how she was able to keep the family together.Quotations should be used to show the actual words of the storyteller, when doing so gives credence to their perspective.   The student, as interviewer, will make the connection to the family life concepts and terms that support the perspectives and values of the family story being told.Social SciencePsychology
