Learning Targets: I can apply knowledge of language to understand how language functions in different contexts, to make effective choices for meaning or style, and to comprehend more fully when reading or listening.
I can verify the preliminary determination of the meaning of a word or phrase.
I can demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.
Essential question: How does one's questioning techniques- types of questions, presentation- elicit an insightful, authentic interview?
Today you are to create six open-ended questions much as you did with the historical figure last week. These will be used as a framework to scaffold your interview. The actual interview will be much more extensive, as you will respond to your partner. Before conducting the interview, your questions must be checked. Make sure these are insightful, open-ended questions. Avoid questions that will elicit short responses.
On Thursday, you will conduct the interview and write it up in class on Friday and Monday. Take your time. Be very mindful of language conventions. I will be posting these on the blog with a photo of the person you interviewed. Your name will be listed as the author. Have fun.
The interviewing technique you are using is the story telling format, much in the style of the Costello or Hitler. Reread these, if necessary. You are not writing up the interview as a q and a. Take your time. Let the conversations evolve.
Here again are the types of questions. Again, write these out and show them to me to check over. Remember that they should be sophisticated questions. Ideas to explore: if questions? How do you imagine questions? What do you consider to be? How would you handle? Tell me about... What do you admire about? Assuming.... Knowing that...
