(Details of structured / unstructured and why you chose this format) The interview is mostly structured, but will have a few unstructured questions depending on the answers I receive. I have chosen this format because its a friendly interview and I am trying to get as much information as possible. (Details of recording method and justify why you chose this) To record this, I will use a recorder, because they will have everything said, saved on it and you can listen back and pick out the important/relevant information. It is also faster and more efficient than just writing it down as you could miss something important. (Why you chose your interviewee and the subject.) I have chosen to interview Liam about his life in Culverhay sixth form to find out how he is coping in sixth form and whether he has found it easy or hard, learnt new things etc.
