For Edinger House’s immigration project, I was supposed to interview someone I knew from another country. I interviewed my babysitter, who came from the Ukraine, which is in Europe. She came with her mom, dad, one set of grandparents and her 2 sisters for religious freedom. The process was very long! First I interviewed her with a tape recorder. Then I transcribed the interview. Then I made a draft on an AlphaSmart 300 and a draft on a laptop. Then I made a book dummy and finally a book, with illustrations. My book was 25 pages. On my cover, I made a Ukrainian flag and an American flag. I learned a lot about her because even before the interview I didn’t know she was an immigrant!
