-You will answer the questions for yourself. Once the questions have been answered, you will write a paper comparing your responses to the responses of the person you interviewed. There is not a page limit, but it must be thorough and in-depth. You will need to include your reaction to their responses and how they are the same or different from your own. You will also need to reflect on your experience doing the interview, and how it may or may not have changed an opinion you have or had about the other person’s culture, gender, age or ability. Lastly, include why you think it would be important to reflect on your own upbringing and get to know the upbringing of the families in your schools.
