\nMake copies of the CVs and interviewee sheet according to the number of the group.<\/p>\n
Tell students that they have got the job of reporter for a magazine about some famous people. They are going to interview some famous people and they need to prepare some general questions they can ask any famous person – actors, singers, sports stars, politicians etc.
\nFor this, choose two volunteers from the group to be the famous person and give them the interviewee sheet which include detailed information about the famous people they will act.
\nDistribute to the rest of the group the CVs of the two famous people they will interview.
\nGive some examples, like, \u2018Do you enjoy your job?’ or \u2018Are you happy being so famous?’ and get students to write four questions and put them into a table with the questions going down the left hand side and space for five columns to the right.
\nWhile the interviewees are studying the information about their characters, ask the class to study their CV to understand their career path and life.
\nThen ask students which famous person they would like to be and give each one a sticky label or a sticky note for them to write the name of the famous person on and stick on themselves.
\nPut students into two concentric circles with the inner circle facing out and outer circle facing in.
\nTell students that they are going to interview the person directly in front of them for two minutes and note down all the information they find out. They are also going to be interviewed.
\nThe facing pairs take turns in the different roles of interviewer and famous person. At two-minute intervals shout \u2018stop’ and ask the outer circle to step one person to the right. Shout \u2018start’ to give students two more minutes with a new famous person.
\nWhen each student has interviewed and been interviewed five or six times stop the activity and seat students. The information they have gathered about the famous people can then be shared with the group orally or used for a piece of writing for a gossip magazine.<\/p>\n
If you have an odd number rotate one person out of the circle each time you move the other circle around. This person can help you to monitor and can walk around the circle listening to the others in action and making a note of any mistakes they hear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
