Immigrant Interview

INSTRUCTIONS:

You are writing a narrative story, about one person’s migration story from Latin America or the Caribbean. Write a 5-6 page interview narrative (12 pt. Times New Roman font, 1” margins, double spaced, page numbered) narrating the lived experiences of a first generation immigrant from Latin America: life in the home country, their immigrant journey as well as their life where they settled. Your interviewee can be a family member, close friend, or a complete stranger. You may conduct the interview in any language, but the final paper must be in English with translated quotations. You should NOT turn in a transcription of the interview (i.e., question and then an answer). You must condense the information gathered into a coherent narrative that tells a story of that person’s lived experience in their home country and in the United States. Your interview questions should inquire about that person’s lived experiences as an immigrant from Latin America, covering the reasons about why they left their home country as well as their settlement experience in the United States. Keep in mind that you should include the following parts, but the details and how long you write about each part is up to you.
