Middle Adulthood Interview
For this assignment write 1 – 2 pages about someone in middle adulthood . If you do not know anyone in middle adulthood, complete the Middle Adulthood Autobiography. You will interview the subject then write an analysis of the interview.
Rules about the interview:
It can be done virtually , in person, or over the phone. But it does need to be an interview. You cannot just e-mail the questions.
If possible, you should record the interview and then take notes later. This will allow you to feel more like you are having a real conversation rather than just typing while the other person talks.
You will need to make sure the subject has adequate language skills to carry on a conversation, even if they don’t fully understand all the questions.
For the interview, ask the following questions:
Describe a typical day.
What activities do you enjoy most?
What activities do you enjoy least?
Describe your best friend. What qualities does he/she have?
What is your greatest achievement thus far in life?
