interviewing chapter 5
i think this entire chapter is really easy to read and fairly straight forward... just trying to say that we need to asked open questions that lead to other things, no just yes and no answers. we should have predetermined questions, take notes, and write down not just what the interviewer says but also what it reminds you of and reflect on their answer. also one key factor is LISTENING to the subject. because with a subculture you are familiar with, like mine, i might tend to expect what they will say instead of actually listening for differences and looking deeper into the interview. i think this part of the ethnography will be the fun part of this project and hopefully will find out something i didnt already know...

Def. ask questions that require more of than a yes/no answer. Those further in depth answers will lead to more questions that you hadn't thought of before the interview. I also agree with paying attention to your person you are interviewing. They could tell you something you didn't know about what you are already in. I am in the class that is my subculture and I thought I knew everything about it. When I asked questions I learned more and I had to pay attention to catch something more.
