This class will focus on interview skills, note-taking, and writing a draft. Students will learn the basics of a good interview, how to effectively take notes during an interview, and then how to use those notes to create an interesting feature story. The first 10 minutes will give a background on interviewing basics. The learners will then spend 20 minutes interviewing the teacher. Afterwards, they will work with the teacher to structure an article and then write a feature piece based on the interview. If there is time, they will share their work or submit it to the teacher for comments.

3. I went to Russia with my 7th grade Social Studies class in 1989.
4. I play tennis whenever I get a chance!
5. My husband, my mom, my dad, my two aunts, and my grandmother were all teachers.
6. I started my career as a sportswriter but ended up going into education a few years later.
