Part of Lesson Plan: Job Interviews

Activity Overview / Details

Students choose from three colors of paper strips, colored markers or other type of group division. Have them get into groups with one of each color. One color is then designated the interviewer, one color the interviewee, the other the recorder. Students will role play interviewing, the recorder jotting down the question and answers. Students have 5 minutes to role play, then 3 minutes to talk about the answers. You then call time and tell everyone to now get into a different group, again with the three colors. Go through process three times until all have had a chance to participate in all roles.

Example-1st time-Red interviewer, green interviewee, blue recorder

2nd time- green interviewer, blue interviewee, red recorder

3rd time- blue interviewer, red interviewee, green recorder

Talk as a large group after activity, about best answers to questions.
