Reflection on youth interview

Youth Interviews For this assignment, you will (1) interview one or two youth about their civic education experiences in the digital age. The goal of this interview is to explore what your interviewees learned in high school about leveraging the power of digital media to promote their civic and political engagement. Please look through the document titled, "Interviewing Guidelines," for instructions on developing interview questions and conducting interviews.

Then, you will (2) submit the interview questions and a one-page reflection about the interview. Due Week 4, Friday at 12:00 PM (Noon) (PT).

First: You will conduct an interview with one or two youth. Develop an interview protocol with at least five interview questions. These interview questions will focus on the following: your interviewees’ general civic education experiences, and their civic education experiences involving digital media. We will provide you with two interview questions (see “Interviewing Guidelines”). You must develop at least three interview questions on your own using this week’s readings and lectures. Once your interview questions are ready, begin interviewing. Interview one or two youth about their high school civic education. You may interview a high school or college student (but ask about their high school experiences). During the interview, take notes. Jot down your interviewee’s responses (not verbatim, quick notes). It will help you write the reflection. After the interview, reflect. After the interview, you will complete a one-page reflection for submission. Second: Submit reflection and interview questions. You will submit two items: your interview questions and a reflection. Please add the interview questions at the end of your reflection.

The one-page reflection should be on the following: To what extent did your interviewees’ high school experiences prepare them to do one or more of the four kinds of online political activities described in the readings. If you were making a suggestion to educators at these individuals’ schools, what might you tell them?
