Congratulations!

You have just gotten your first job as a reporter. It is your job to interview famous people and characters.

How do I interview famous people and characters????

You need to know that your job is to ask  people specific questions to find out answers to a specific topic. An interview is nothing more than a planned conversation.

What kind of questions should I ask???

Always ask questions that will give you lots of information about your topic.

How do I get ready for an interview???

It is  important to know something about the person you are interviewing. It is also a good idea to come up with questions before the interview.   Use open-ended questions that encourage personal commentary, such as, "Tell me what you remember about going to school."

How do I remember what the person says???

Some people tape record the interview.  Other people take notes. The important thing is to get down the most important ideas!

What's an interview look like???
