For your third and final genre this week, you will be writing up an interview for your multi-genre project. You have already written a poem and a letter, so think about how you could incorporate an interview into your project. There are many different types of interviews conducted for many purposes, and you get to choose a scenario and run with it.
Stuck? Think about how an interview is structured. In most instances, an interview consists of one person asking questions to gain knowledge (the interviewer) and the other person responding to the questions asked, providing that information for better understanding in any given situation (the interviewee):
Interviewer - Why are interviews effective for multi-genre projects?
Interviewee - Well, I think that writing an interview (fictional or not) is a good way for students to understand the thoughts of their characters, or even their own thoughts during the writing process.
Interviewer - Should students look at writing an interview like writing dialogue?
Interviewee - Yes! An interview is dialogue, so students must make sure that the dialogue that they write for the interview is effective and ultimately moves the piece forward.
Interviewer - So, could a student interview an actual person for this genre?
Interviewee - Absolutely. It may even make the interview more authentic! Students should experiment and see where this genre takes their project!
As always, think about where this interview that you write will fit into the big scheme of things!
