Now that you know how, start preparing to interview your partner. Simply follow the steps we covered in the presentation:
- Do your research - Write a paragraph reflecting on your work to turn in.
- Decide on a purpose - Write a concise statement explaining the focus and the angle.
- Prepare your questions - Use the techniques and include open-ended and closed questions where appropriate. Include 10-15 questions.
Review your interview questions and eliminate any wording that seems loaded or leading.
- When you make a change, include the original question and the improved version, and note the changes by underlining them.
- If you do no make any changes to the questions, note that on your assignment and resubmit the questions.
Compile follow-up and wrap-up questions.
- This is the last step before you are ready to jump in with your first real interview!
- Just to make sure you are ready, go back to your questions and look for places you can anticipate follow-up questions.
