interview you conduct of a subject matter expert. You must ask 5 questions and include the interview in your list of References. Find an interviewee who is an expert in the topic you have selected for your speech. The subject matter expert does not need to be world famous. It needs to be a person you can contact and who will agree to an interview with you. For example, if your speech topic is increased funding in education, you could interview a teacher. If your speech topic is homeschooling and you were homeschooled, you could interview your parent. If your speech topic is exercise, you could interview your coach or trainer or friend who is an athlete.
Next, write five, informed, open-ended, precise, and unbiased questions. Then, conduct your interview. Note that you will need to use relevant content from the interview for your speech outlines.
