This is a wonderful beginning-of-the-year-lesson to complete with your classes. Students compose interview questions, interview one another, complete a graphic organizer, write a paragraph based on their interviews, and introduce a classmate to the class.

The lesson has five parts:
1. Paragraph structure review
2. Composition of quality interview questions
3. Interview/notes section
4. A graphic organizer
4. Instructions for completing a final draft

This is a three-page PDF file that contains detailed lesson plans (standards addressed, objectives, duration, teacher tips, and differentiations strategies), plus a two-page complete worksheet for your students.
