SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD Mood is the form a verb takes to show how it is to be regarded (e.g., as a fact, a command, a wish, an uncertainty). There are three major moods in English: The Indicative Mood. This states facts or asks questions. For example: They are playing the guitar. Are they playing the guitar? The Imperative Mood. This expresses a command or a request. For example: Play the guitar! Please play the guitar. The Subjunctive Mood. This shows a wish or doubt. For example: I suggest that Lee play the guitar. I propose that Lee be asked to play the guitar. If I were Lee, I would play the guitar.

Reread the Liddell Transcript ↗ FIRST: Label each questions O (open-ended) or C (close- ended) ↗ SECOND: Evaluate the effectiveness of each question ↗ 1 = I learned a lot about the person from this question ↗ 2 = I learned something about the person, but I wanted to learn more ↗ 3 = I did not learn very much about the person from this question

Questions don’t have to be “at what point did you grow up?” Who has been the most important person in your life? Can you tell me about him or her? Who has been the biggest influence on your life? What lessons did that person teach you? What did you think your life would be like when you were older? What are you proudest of? When in life have you felt most alone? If you could hold on to one memory from your life forever, what would that be? How has your life been different than what you’d imagined? How would you like to be remembered? Do you have any regrets? What are the most important lessons you’ve learned in life? If you could go back in time and talk to your younger self during those times, what would you say?

The beginning You’ll want to start with background questions. Questions about where he/she grew up, what life was like, etc. You’ll want to get background of where they are now: career, family, etc. This is information you will then use in your narrative introduction and possible closing. With that in mind, work with your partner/group, and write four opening questions that could lead to your higher level thinking questions.

The middle and end The middle questions should require a bit more reflection on your interviewee’s part. This is where a lot of the coming of age and growth will be explained. The end may want to connect back to life now. How everything comes together to have led them to the place he/she is now.

Preparing ↗ Now individually, write 4 open ended, strong questions geared specifically towards your interviewee. ↗ Pay attention to the ideas about “follow-up questions,” and write at least 2 possible follow-up questions to go with your 4 open ended questions. ↗ Then write a question or two that will effectively end the interview. ↗ Write out a “closing” to end your interview- thanking them again, as well as explaining that you will be transcribing this interview into a transcript and turning it into a narrative. You may offer to send them a copy of the narrative if they are interested in seeing the end product.
