2. Pair up with a practice partner at home or online. Using the Great Question Generator in the StoryCorps App, at archive.storycorps.org, or the Great Questions handout, select 3–4 questions to ask their interview partner. Use the skills you learned in the videos and to ask follow-up questions (e.g. Can you tell me more about that? Why do you think that happened? What do you mean by that?) Practice interviewing! You should start by asking questions of your partner. If your partner will also be interviewing, switch after 3–5 minutes to give your partner a chance to ask you their questions. Debrief: After practicing to interview discuss the following with your partner: What is one thing your partner did during the interview that was effective? What challenges or surprises did you encounter during your interview, and how did you work to address them? What is the significance of what you talked about during your interview? What is one thing from this practice interview that you want to remember for when you conduct your interview? Revise your interviewing planning sheet. Good luck with your interview!
