Examining the Art of Questioning
My Notes
6. Now that you have finished reading the interview transcript, look carefully at the order of the questions. Does the sequence of questions create a logical flow?
If not, what order would flow better? Be prepared to justify your choices.
Check Your Understanding
For Embedded Assessment 1, you will write your own interview narrative. You will create interview questions, conduct an interview, and record answers to draft a transcript much like the one you have just analyzed. Write a brief reflection on strategies you can use to plan for your interview and ask effective questions.
Independent Reading Checkpoint
Choose one of the readings from the first half of this unit. Compare author’s voice and tone with the author’s voice and tone in your independent reading text as they described a coming-of-age experience.

13 Ask students to complete the Check Your Understanding exercise. Ask volunteers to share their responses.
14 Have students complete the Independent Reading Checkpoint for homework, and remind them
to complete the Independent Reading Link from the beginning of the activity.
In the Check Your Understanding task, look for students’ understanding of effective interview questions. Their reflections and strategies should demonstrate
an understanding of open-ended questions, follow-up questions, and logical ordering of questions.
In Working from the Text, look for students’ understanding of how to transform an interview transcript into a narrative.
If students need additional help preparing for their interviews, show video clips of effective
and ineffective video clips. Clips should include demonstrations of open-ended questions, follow-up questions, and logical order. Ask students to tell you which clips demonstrate effective techniques and which demonstrate ineffective techniques. Ask volunteers how the ineffective clips could be improved.
