Description
Do you love Humans of New York? Are you looking for a fun way to engage students while teaching important speaking and listening skills? These versatile speaking and listening activities teach students to conduct an effective peer-to-peer interview in order to get beyond surface-level response and discover the stories that make people unique. Use at the beginning of the school year as a getting to know you activity, as a public speaking activity, or as a part of your next memoir, personal narrative, or podcasting assessment.
Students will take principals of listening and questioning, apply them to an interview situation, and use writing skills to tell the story that they discover.
There are four resources included:
- Interviewing Tips Slideshow (7 PowerPoint or Google Slides): Students will learn tips for effective interviewing.
- Interview Practice Cards (3 Pages, 13 Google Slides): Students are prompted at the end of the slideshow to practice with interview practice cards. These task cards give students a broad idea and question to start with, along with one or more suggested follow-up questions should they get stuck. These questions are designed as starters, but students should go beyond these questions with questions of their own.
- Interview Reflection Google Form (1 Google Form): After the practice interview(s), students will use this form to self-reflect.
- Human of Our Classroom Activity (1 Page, 36 Google Slides): Using the print template or the Google Slides Template, have students honor their classmate’s most interesting or important story told in the interview using a print or Google Slides template.
