Preparing an interview (individual or in teams)

The participants will prepare questions for an interview with someone that came to live in a new place, the place they now call their city, village, state or country.

Think about the question used to share 

your own experience as a reference:

"Please think of times in your life that you felt part of a group or maybe not such a big part of a group or even excluded from a group".

Interviews can be individual or in a groups of two students.

The facilitator can decide a minimum of questions that the participants need to prepare according to their level.

When a group is less independent the facilitator has a more guiding role: helping to formulate questions, giving a format to work the interview and offering a format to present the interview. The aim is to challenge the participants by demanding a more independent work attitude in accordance with their level of personal growth. The demand should be reachable and just a bit outside of their possibility.

Presentation (individual or in teams)

The design for the presentation can be a more or less structured assignment depending on the level of the students. The interview can be presented as a small video registration or as a written piece. Or even in a slide just a highlight and an oral explanation for the presentation and a written article to publish in a book of interviews by the whole class for example.

It is important that the participants present their work in front of the class. The facilitator guides the process of the presentations: keeping track of time, having a bell or other sound to mark the start and the beginning, setting up the 'stage', regulating the responses, making sure the presenters take a bow ...

If the facilitator finds another form of presentation or includes the participants in the presentation in another way, this is also a possibility.

When a group is less independent the facilitator has a more guiding role: helping to formulate questions, giving a format to work the interview and offering a format to present the interview. The aim is to challenge the participants by demanding a more independent work attitude in accordance with their level of personal growth. The demand should be reachable and just a bit outside of their regular level of possibility.
