Challenges of the Older Generation

Homework #1:  Plan and conduct an interview with someone who is at least 25 years older than you.
Plan: Create 10 questions to ask. These should deal with the advantages and disadvantages of aging. Avoid questions that are designed for "yes or no" answers only. Conversation is good! As a class, let's generate some good questions. Here are some tips: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/559/06/
Interview: This may be in person, by phone, via SKYPE, by text, or by e-mail.
Be respectful. Be sure to tell the individual that you will be using the information in class. Ask permission to share that person's name. Get the correct spelling. If the individual does not want the name used, don't include it.
Post your questions and the answers in CANVAS by class next Thursday, November 13th.

Spend 30 more minutes working in MyWritingLab. All you need to do is work. The program reports your time and progress to me.
