Write questions to help people remember what might be a very long time ago…
Sample questions • What were you doing when you heard the news that JFK had been shot? • How did you feel as you watched the coverage of the Berlin Wall falling? • What did you think of President Reagan? Was he really as popular as history describes? Do you recall the “evil empire” speech? • Do you remember seeing and hearing people talk about the Vietnam War? How did you feel about the way that it ended? • How did you feel about President Nixon and his administration?
Your interview questions that you plan to ask are due next Friday • Only the questions are due; not the answers • No late work on this…we have a strict timeline!
