interviews/another activity

Students choose a book to read. Then they "become" a character from the book. Students will be partnered up so they make a list of questions to ask their partner's character. It can have to do with characteristics, other| characters, setting, plot, problem/solution, cause/effect,etc. The students then partner up. They take turns interviewing each other. Then they report to the class what they learned about the character. ****Before they do this activity I model this for them. I choose a character from a book. We do a "picture walk" through the book. I ask for questions they would want to ask. | |
I choose some questions that I would like to ask. Then we role play "interviewing" in class. I become the character and I let them take turns asking me the questions. I feel it is important to model this for them before they begin. Ofcourse when they get with their partner they haven't seen their partner's book or character but they have a start with the questions we asked in class. One other activity is to have the students write a letter to the character asking them questions pertaining to the story. Hope you can make sense of this!
