i need making oral history interview questions

here is whats required

tips for creating oral history interview questions:

1. begin the interview by finding out basic personal information about the interviewee, such as name, date and place of birth, and current place of residence.

2. keep your questions short and simple.

3. avoid asking questions that can be answered with “yes” or “no.” instead, use questions that begin with phrases such as “tell me about . .”

4. use questions that begin with “why” and “how” to encourage the interviewee to offer impressions and opinions. you can also ask your subject to offer his or her point of view or to describe the scene.

5. encourage interviewees to talk about their own experiences, rather than those of others they may have heard about but not experienced for themselves. you might jog their memory by asking them to describe the happiest/saddest/most disturbing part of this experience.

6. use follow-up questions to delve more deeply into a topic the subject has touched on. jot these questions down as the interviewee is talking.

7. at the end of the interview, ask the interview subject whether there is anything else he or she would like to share about this particular event in history.
