                                      Or

2. You can record an audio file of your interview and transcribe the text, submitting 3-4 pages. Check out this example to see how your interview should be formatted: http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/stephen-king-the-rolling-stone-interview-20141031

You are also required to submit a brief introduction, summarizing your interview as well as what the project will contribute to your overall paper.
