Happy Tuesday, 11th graders!
Today we will refine our interview skills and help each other brainstorm killer questions for your upcoming interview.
1. Attendance and announcements.
If you haven't yet sent your email request an interview to your person-of-choice, this needs to be completed TODAY. Remember to CC me.
2. Warm-Up journaling and discussion.
In your paper notebook, jot down some characteristics of a good interview question. How should you organize questions? What questions do you have about interviewing?
Discuss.
3. Brainstorming questions.
Step 1: Individually, write down as many as you can (5 min)
Step 2: With a partner, share the questions you wrote down. Give each other feedback. Together, brainstorm five more. (5 min)
Step 3: Now partner with two more students and share questions (so now there are four students). Give each other feedback. Together, brainstorm five more. (10 min)
Step 4: In your group of four, choose your best three. Be prepared to share with class. (5 min)
4. Share
Each group will share its best three questions. Please give your peers feedback.
5. Organization.
Organize your questions into a flowing interview. A final draft of your interview questions is due Thursday, January 18.
6. Interview Reminders:
Things to remember for you interview:
* Make sure you cover the basics - If you don’t leave the interview knowing the name of the college your interviewee went to or the names or details of other specific things, then you missed some key questions
* Make sure you record the answers - it’s up to you if that’s on video, a recording device or by hand, but you should walk away with something more than your memory
* It’s okay to relax - Yes, make sure you go through your questions but it’s okay to make it a conversation.
Homework: Final draft of interview questions/script. Please submit to Assignment Dropbox.
Thursday: Tour of Maui College @ 10 a.m. We will leave promptly after 1st period.
