Partner Introduction/Interview Sample Questions

Partner Introduction Sample Questions

Your Name____________    
Partner’s Full Name____________________________ Period_____

Here is a link to another page with some great questions. 

**Use this list as a starting place for your interview. You do not need to ask all of these questions, and you may ask different questions if you want to. Follow up on your partner’s answer, and try to get more specific information. You might also ask some of the questions I asked for the Personal Histories assignment in Google Classroom.

Write your answers ON A DIFFERENT PAGE. Don’t try to squeeze the answers in the spaces below.  Ask your partner for specifics and details. Say, “Tell me more about that,” or ask for examples. Be sure to ask “Why?”.

Be sure to find out how to PRONOUNCE YOUR PARTNER’S NAME CORRECTLY.

  • If you were famous, what would you be famous for (acting, singing, sports, writing, etc.) and why?
  • Do you have a hidden talent? What is it? (ex. Double jointed thumbs, can say the alphabet backward, etc.). AND/OR what are your talents and strengths (what are you good at)?

**This is only a guide! You can ask your own questions or skip some; it’s up to you. Just make sure you have enough material to make the time limit (2-2 1/2 minutes)! If you just answer these, it will NOT be enough**
