> You will be interviewing an artist or athlete at Les Jeux de la Francophonie (Côte d'Ivoire)
> You will also be creating a persona, and be interviewed.
> You will be representing a participating country
> Interview Questions:
*Present / Futur Proche
*3 types of questions (Inversion, Intonation, Est-ce que)
*Question words (Combien, Pourquoi, Quand...)
*Relate to the person being interviewed (e.g. athlete being asked about sports)
*1 or 2 questions that relates to the person's country (e.g. food/climate/languages... etc.)
*use VOUS
> Interview Answers:
*Present/Futur Proche
*Positively (oui) and negatively (non)
*Please respond in complete sentences
*use JE
*varied vocabulary
You are showing me what you know and have learned this unit. This is why we are avoiding the past tense (you will learn that later this semester!)
> Each interview should last 1 minute
> You will be getting a speaking mark for this.
> It must be in video format: this will give you more of an opportunity to practice, re-do takes, still "present" in front of the class, but not live!
Some options for the video:
Interview question written on screen with voice-over, then cut to person being interviewed
Interview question said live by interviewer, then cut to person being interviewed
I do not recommend a "live interview"
This is where you set-up a trip-pod and both speak back and forth.
The sound/quality tends to be better in the two examples described above,
and it will be easier to re-do takes if one of you makes a mistake.
HOWEVER, if your heart is set on a live interview and you can make it work...
go for it!
If you have another interview style that you want to try/suggest, just ask me about it :)
* Thursday: be assigned partner/create your persona/pick country/work on passport.

* Tuesday: Finish filming, edit it, upload to class YouTube account (info to be given)
