There was a lot of things that we did to prepare me for the interview. One of the things would be actually practicing with someone and it was actually really help full because it was a way for me to kind of get new questions and think of what to do if I get stuck on the interview. Another thing that we did was watch the teacher do the interview with another person, and that also helped me a lot because I could see what was their body language and kind of get and idea on how to get your interviewee feel comfortable. Something that really surprised me was the steps we needed to do, to actually do a good interview. I thought that the only thing you needed to do was write about what you wanted to talk about and that's it, but its actually more than that. You actually have to think about the questions that you are going to ask the interviewee & you have to come up with questions that will lead up to what you want to talk about. You also have to do a little research on what you guys are going to be talking about, like you have to relate what you want to talk about to a historical event and research a little bit about it. Something that I used on my interview, that I learned in the past weeks is the body language, because I tried to make the person I was interviewing feel comfortable. Even though its someone I knew, I still wanted them to feel comfortable. The next time I turn research into a piece of writing, I will remember to always check my work twice because thats something that I always forget to do and its super important to do. Even if you think you didn't do anything wrong, you still have to check it again just to make sure, and it doesn't hurt checking it again.

Lots of interesting points here - make sure you remember to keep double-checking your work before you turn it in!
