Interviewing:

Ask open ended questions

Why did you start…?

What was happening when you arrived…?

What did it smell like? Feel like? Smell like?

Follow-up questions – Listen to the person’s answer.

Ask “what does this all mean?”

“Do you think that people tend to act this way in public?”

“Do you think it is as simple as…?”

“What does this say about small town America?”

Ask questions in pairs?

Ex, How long have you been a paper boy and what is your favorite part?

Be silent for longer than is comfortable. / Confused dog

 

Putting it ALL together!

 

The GOLD standard.
