This week sixth graders got to know more about their classmates by interviewing each other. They chose six questions to ask their partner and conducted interviews in class. The notes they collected will then be used to create a newspaper article featuring that person.
Need-to-know info:
Thur, 9/1 - Draft of interview due, Begin typing article in class

Interview Article Checklist:
I wrote an introduction paragraph that:
-starts with a lead sentence that hooks the reader right away

I wrote a body paragraph that includes the person’s hobbies, talents and accomplishments.
I wrote a conclusion paragraph that summarizes the person and ends in a memorable way.
