On the topic of ethnography

Step ONE:

You are going to put on your interviewer's hat and find THREE SUBJECTS (namely, A FELLOW STUDENT, who is not a part of the English 10 Honors community, a TEACHER, who does not teach within the Social Science department, and an unsuspecting CIVILIAN, a relative, a friend outside school, a parent), and ask them to tell you THREE things about the Second World War holocaust.

Step TWO:

Then you are to write these things down.

Step THREE:

You come to the blog, and let us know what surprised you the most about their answers.
