Thurs, Oct. 30: if you don't ask, they'll never tell

Greetings, radio personalities about to populate the fruited plain,

Today, you will be completing one task, and beginning another. Let's start with the second one first:

PRACTICE INTERVIEWING SKILLS

A few of you have already begun doing this, at least in a limited sense. Now, each of you will have to begin setting up interviews. Here's what you need to do:

A) Find at least two other people in this class who are NOT IN YOUR GROUP who are willing to be interviewed. (I'm trying to mix it up here a little bit). If no one consents, well, too bad for everyone involved, I'll just start matching people up if that happens. (Or as Darth Sidious put it, "I will make it legal")

B) You will have to agree on an interview topic with each of these two people. The topic has to be school appropriate and something you are both comfortable talking about.

C) set up a series of questions you plan on asking this person about the topic you both agreed to. For now, five good questions will do.

D) When you have this all set up, please post the names of the two people you plan on interviewing, the topic for each one, and the set of questions. This should be set up as a Discussion posting on our Google group; you should title it using your name plus the phrase "Interviews, step one"

When you are done with that, please complete any work that you have not finished up in the past few days.

Cheers,
Mr. L
