Profile – Going Home for the Holidays
For my third story, I want to write a profile and focus on an international student who is excited to head home for the holidays. I want them to describe the sites and sounds on their culture. Other sources I would interview are friends of that person who can share details of what that person likes to talk about and what they miss about their family. Maybe interview a professor who helps them feel less homesick. I wanted to try and include a sub character that can’t go home, but wants to. The main character I had in mind was this really friendly person named Hindi; he is from Saudi Arabia.

I like this idea of contrasting a student who can go home with one who can’t. I think the key to this story, since you won’t actually be watching either of these students experience Thanksgiving (or whatever the holiday season is like for them), is loads of detail. What food is served? What rituals observed? What will be your multimedia?
