So you have 2 closed ended questions and 18 open ended questions, that's good. Two questions you can ask you main source are: What kind of love were you looking for at the time? or How did you imagine meeting the love of your life?
ReplyDeleteAsk Dana: How were your expectations different from what actually occurred?
Another secondary source could be Dana's mom.
The audience is very clear: people who like interesting love stories. I can tell that the purpose of this story is to express that people fall in love in mysterious ways (an ed sheeran reference that fits perfectly with this topic). The main point in these questions are to dig deeper into the love story. The questions that ask about how both lovers felt about each other, because their responses will somehow bring them back to that moment and they'll remember how in love they were, and that's always beautiful. I don't think that any questions need any or less detail/explanation. All the questions are very clear :)
A. If you see any "closed-ended" questions, make sure they are valid and relevant. If you see lots of "open-ended" questions, that is good. Tell them how many of each you see.
ReplyDeleteYou have 29 "open-ended" questions which are really good and 3 "closed-ended" questions
B. Think of at least 2 questions that you think they should ask their main source, and type it in for them to see.

You could interview Dean's Dad/Mom or Dana's Mom

What do you see as the writer’s main point in these questions?
I think your main point is to find out how they met and why.
Which part of these questions interests you the most? Why?
I think the first 10 questions are the most interesting to me because their story seems really interesting and cool and to me the first couple questions really help to convey the story.
Where do you feel you would like more detail or explanation on any questions? Where do you need less?
I think you could add a little more detail on the last few questions, but I don't think you need to take away any details.
Do you find any questions unclear, confusing, or undeveloped?
No, I do not find any questions unclear, confusing, or undeveloped.

Which part of these questions interests you the most? Why? I think that the question that interests me the most was, "What have you learned from 35 years of marriage" because 35 year is a huge deal.
Where do you feel you would like more detail or explanation on any questions? Where do you need less? I think you need for quotes on how they felt but make sure that they have transition statements on how it happened
Do you find any questions unclear, confusing, or undeveloped? No I thought all the questions were really good.
Good Luck :)
