Blog 2, Expert Interview

My Expert:

                My expert for this project was Dr. Amanda Allen, Dr. Allen is the British Historian here at High Point and a key member of the history department. She is also my two-time history professor. She has extensive knowledge of history, but more important a love and a knack for teaching it, to my personal testament! I wanted to get to know why she started teaching history, and why she loves history. Then I followed up with asking her why she finds it important to teach history herself.


Editing the interview:

                In editing the interview, I wanted to grab what was truly important. She gave me lot of wonderful content, so much that I would have to cut some down. I wanted to be true to her and not change her message or answers around, so I had some challenge in decide what not to keep! Hopefully when looking at both you see the message clearly and more smoothly. I did use the tips we learned in class from Professor Heagney to quiet down some the background static of her office/ my poor mic. 


First up is the full interview! Followed up by the cut down version!
