Sideshawdowing Questions

Sideshadowing Questions for health profile

1. I’m still trying to think up a good title that incorporates Medical Technology and Writing; I want it to grab attention which is why I’m still working on it. Any suggestions or words I should include in it. How many words is a good length for this type of document’s title?

2. I was able to obtain enough information and in great context in order to do the Q&A format. Do you think an Introduction is necessary to liven up the paper? And do you think the Q&A format is the best way to go about my interview?

3. I wasn’t able to get a picture of my interviewee. Any suggestions about a possible graphic I could add to enhance the appearance of the document?



4. Is my style/formatting attractive and easy to read? I bolded the questions and made appropriate white space when necessary. I want my paper to be eye catching or at least appear to be interesting. This type of assignment doesn’t really require a flashy format, but if there’s any simple changes that could alter it towards my desired goal, what would you suggest?


5. Is my interviewee, Linda’s voice being heard? I really wanted my format to show her as a person. Do you get a feeling that you’re having a conversation with her?



6. Do you think I need to conclude the paper? Kind of restate the importance of a Med Tech or at least the importance of writing in this type of career (write on back if not enough room)?
