Interview an Author

After students complete a reading, have them “interview” the author. Have them brainstorm some ideas of what they would like to ask the author, such as “When did you first become interested in environmentalism?” in an interview of the naturalist John Muir. Have them complete the interview questions in pairs and then role play the interview.


This provides practice in writing and speaking skills as well as group work and extends critical thinking about the reading.
