Interview Assignment American History Class

For your second interview, respond to the following scenario:

Elizabeth is a Fundamentalist living in the 1930's. Your task (again, as a member of the Rasmussen College Historical Society) is to go back in time and interview Elizabeth. The focus of your interview is twofold.  First, you are to discern from Elizabeth what it meant to be a Fundamentlist in the 1930's, how that shaped her worldview, and how America understood fundamentalism at the time.  Second, you are to learn from Elizabeth how American religion has changed over time.  How is being a Fundamentalists in the 1930's the same and/or different from being a Puritan in the Colonial period?  What, if anything, has changed?  Again, your goal is to help the modern reader to understand the religious milieu and fervor that would have shaped Elizabeth's world.

The script of your interview should be written in full; showing both the questions you would ask and the responses Elizabeth might provide. You must ask a minimum of 5 questions. Insert citations in the interview script so the modern reader might go and learn more about life as a Puritan and/or the religious setting of the period.  You should list those sources at the end of your interview document.  Your interview should use a minimum of 3 sources and should be between 2-3 pages long.
