Description

1. This handout served as a guide to help the student conduct an interview. Students were expected to extract an interesting story from their interviewee. In addition, it gave students the basics of interview etiquette and how to create meaningful interview questions.

2. An additional activity that we asked the students to do to get underneath "good interviewing tecniques" was to have them role play as an interviewer and an interviewee.

**It should be noted that students were required to tape (audio) their interview. They used the recording for their Flash project and to make sure that they did not forget any important details.

This process was important because it showed that students needed to be listening to the interviewee so they could ask important follow-up questions.
