How to Proceed:

1. Conduct an interview by phone or any other safe format you can on anyone (work colleagues, friends or relatives) who is an immigrant in USA or has once been an immigrant in any other country in the world. 
2. Write a set of respectful interview questions that you can ask to the migrant that will help you gather information about their  culture, why they chose to migrate to the United States or the country they migrated to and their transitioning challenges. 
3. Conduct a 20-30 minute interview with the migrant.
4. Write a report about your experience, using the following Headings:

Overview 

The overview of the report serves as a brief summary.  An effective overview will include one or two sentences for each section of the report.  Summarize the content of each section.  Although the overview consolidates your information from a number of topics, it should read as one smoothly flowing paragraph.

Culture

Give a brief overview of the culture that you investigated. Include your research into the country and the migrant’s personal experiences.

Reason for Migration

Give a brief summary of the individual’s reason for migrating.  Explain what type of migrant group they belong to (Martin & Nakayama, 2012, pp. 319-323).

Theory

List and explain the Adaptation Model that can be applied to your migrant’s experience.  You should explain the basic concepts and assumptions of the theory.  You should use quotes and citations in this section from the textbook.

Analysis

Analyze your experience using the chosen model.  Use specific examples from your experience to illustrate the concepts of the theory.

Reflection

Reflect on your experience by asking yourself the following questions:

• How did you feel about this project before the interview?
• What did you learn about the culture that you investigated?
• Did your attitude change throughout this project?
• Did the application of theory help you to understand your experience?
• How can you incorporate what you learned in your project in future classes, in your career and in your life?
