Who is your possible subject and why?

  1. Carole LeBlanc: I’d like to interview Professor LeBlanc, my current environmental professor, because she used to work at the Pentagon for the majority of her life before becoming a Professor here at UNE.
  2. Ryan Brod: Professor Brod was the professor I had for my last semester’s english class. I would be interested in interviewing him because I find his approach to teaching very intriguing.

What is the angle or approach for each subject? What makes this interesting?

  1. Carole Leblanc: She seems to be very wise and experienced with life. I would be really interested in sitting down to have a conversation with her about her life.
  2. Ryan Brod: With his teaching techniques, he is able to really grab the class’s attention, making them willing to actually engage and participate in the class, which you don’t see often. I myself, find it hard to work up the courage to participate in class even if I have something I’d really like to add to the discussion. So I truly admire his teaching ability.
