Favorite Project of the Course

My favorite project of the course was the article writing. That is something I didn't anticipate saying at the beginning of the course. I learned a lot from the experiences of conducting interviews. It was enjoyable for me to find a story I was interested in and select people I wanted to interview about the subject. It was also enjoyable for me to formulate questions for the interview that would elicit the best responses. Initially it was difficult to avoid questions that could simply be answered with a "yes" or "no". I think you can still ask those questions, but there has to be a follow up after. Otherwise, the interview could be very brief and uninteresting. 

I particularly enjoyed the feature article that included an interview. It felt like I could take my time in developing the story and explaining all the different angles. It felt like it was story telling at its peak. I felt like I could use more of the quotes I was given to illustrate different angles of the story as well. I think it would be such a fun job to write feature articles about different people. I probably should have pursued that before I was 45 years old. :)
