Feature Profile Assignment -- Non-teacher worker

For your next writing assignment, I want you to write a feature profile of a non-teacher worker in the school (janitor, secretary, receptionist, crossing guard, campus security officer, cafeteria worker, custodian, administrator, librarian, etc.).

Ask them about the various facets of the job that they find funny, interesting, rewarding, satisfying, etc. Ask them how they feel about the work. Ask them also about their background and their life away from school.

We will read an example of this type of story in class today (Monday, Feb. 8) to examine what components or topics you can explore in a story like this.

It is unusual that a story can be written well with only one interview, but this is such a case.

Your final draft of this story will be due on Thursday, Feb. 18.  This will be a major grade.

When you have identified whom you will interview, please reply to this post so I know who your subject will be. Please check the replies before you do your interviews to make sure there are no duplicates. Everyone should interview someone different for this assignment.
