Fictional interview on non-fiction topic. Remember that though you are writing fiction

   (made up interviews) you need   to reveal the facts you learned from the book you read.

   You can use direct quotes for your answers if you cite author and page number, but quotes from the

   book are not necessary.

    Start with an MLA citation for the book you chose at top of the page.

   Underneath that, write your interview/s (if your book had multiple subjects, you can choose perhaps

   the most important 3-4 for a group interview)

   Single space individual speakers words, double space between them, and double space your heading

   and the MLA citation for the book.

   Cite the information from book you use in the interviewee's words, whether quoted or paraphrased

   e.g. (Rainford 42).

   Should be approximately 1000 words total, and should cover the important points of your outside reading book

   e.g.:

​

Kendi, Ibram and Keisha Blain. Four Hundred Souls: a Community History of African America, 1619-2019.

​

        New York, One World, 2021.

​

John Doe, interviewer: What did you learn from your research?

​

Casey Smith, interviewee: Through reading Roland Fryer, I learned that though blacks aren't killed by police more often than whites, they are subjected to more violence when being arrested (Kendi and Blain 142).
