Interview Introductions Form

Directions

• Divide your class into pairs.
• Each person interviews the other. The information gained forms a brief introduction speech they'll present to the class OR to smaller groups.
• Establish a time limit for the interviews. 10 minutes works well. Keep track of the time and call change at the halfway point, 5 minutes, to ensure both people get an opportunity to be interviewed and to interview.
• When students present the introduction may begin like this: "This is Mary and she was named after her mother..." and the students will go through each answer by presenting it like a speech.

What's Included

• 1 Google Doc Interview Form with 10 questions

Entrance Cards

Directions

• Pass out one of the cards to each student (note the letter A or B and small color circles on the front of each card)
• The following is written on each card:

- 3 things you want to share about yourself

- 2 words to describe you

- 1 favorite thing

• Instruct students to find a partner (a person who has the same letter or color circle on the back of their card).
• After the partners interview each other, then each set of partners introduces each other to the class using the entrance cards.
