Interviews: 

Stimulated Elicitation: don't randomly pick a prop, think about it beforehand and have specific items in mind to ask/talk about...

draft, highlight comments, read aloud and explain!

Semi-Structural Interviews:  open-ended questions instead of closed...talk peeps!  Talk!  Trying to get to a certain point, but still leaving them room to speak...but talk about what you are wanting to find out about...

Discourse-Based Interviews:

Responding to what is said...participating in the conversations..."where you present those alternatives"; revision of a sentence or passage (to see style, organization); 1) state your focus/purpose, 2) select a textual passage, 3) revise text, present alternatives for one element, 4) draft question
