In this activity, you will decide on a subject to interview who will help you tell your feature story. Look at the plan you completed for Activity 1. Decide on whom you would like to interview and schedule an in-person or phone interview with that person. Write the person’s name and the date of the interview in a log of your own creation, which you will later submit to your instructor. Make sure to obtain permission from your parents or guardians before scheduling the interview. If you plan to interview the person in person, make sure to meet in a public place and use good safety practices.

Before you conduct your interview, complete the following:

Do a background search on the topic that you are featuring or on the person you are interviewing. The subject of your interview should feel like you know about her role or position in this issue. Write notes from your search in your interview log.
Write a list of at least 10 questions to use in the interview, both open and closed ended. Write the list in your interview log.
During your interview:

Write the answers to each of your questions in your interview log, recording a few responses word-for-word if you can. Don’t hesitate to ask your source to repeat themselves.
After your interview:

Decide on two direct quotes that you think would work well in your article. Highlight them in your log.
Type up your notes and submit them to your instructor.
