Worksheet: "Interview"

Reading scripts

Students pretend to be interviewers and think of the questions to the character.

Read or listen to information about the character in Japanese, and find the answer to those questions.

Students prepare the questions and answers.

Students report the questions and answers to the class. Alternatively, students do role play as the interviewer and the character in front of the class.

Encourage class to ask further questions if possible in Japanese, which could lead to further discussion.

*If the discussion grows to the level beyond the students' language level, English use should be accepted.
