Everyone had about 20 minutes to read a two page excerpt from another students' research paper in which they did a nice job incorporating an interview into their writing. Everyone then answered several questions looking at how research is used, how the interview was used, comparing these two uses, and then giving an overall evaluation of the excerpt (see handout below).
Once everyone had a chance to read the excerpt and respond to the questions, we discussed everyone's responses together as a class. This discussion lead us to the idea that an effective interview is one that brings the research (the big facts and ideas) to life and shows what that information looks like. An interview can also help fill in gaps in the research by investigating questions that were not answered in other sources. Everyone then had the rest of the period to write their research questions (guidelines that were written on the board printed below).
