Practice Interview

Prepare for a practice interview in the next class.
You will be given a story to read and the headline of a story that you will interview someone about.  For the story you are reading, prepare to answer questions about it.  You can have the story in front of you, you can outline it, highlight it, or just read it several times to be able to answer questions about it.  If you are asked a question and don’t know or can’t find the answer, you can make up an answer or just say you don’t know.  For the story you are going to interview someone about, you should prepare questions to find out about the details of the story (i.e., who, what, when, where, why, how).  All you know before the interview is the headline of the story.  Interviews will last 5-7 minutes. The class will be divided into groups of 3 with one person observing and providing feedback, one person serving as the interviewer, and one person serving as the interviewee.  Roles will rotate until everyone gets a chance to serve in every role.
