Classmate Interview Slideshow Assignment One of the best ways to kick off a new semester is to make some new friends in class. Knowing your teacher and your peers will make your life easier when we get to work. You’ll have more people to turn to when you have a question or need help. Plus you’ll enjoy coming here each day! Therefore, we are going to have some fun with this “get to know you” assignment! The instructions are below. Good luck! Instructions: Find a partner to work with. (I’d be happy to help you find somebody to work with if you d like me to!)  Sit down together and work your way through the interview questions I’ve provided. Please have an actual conversation and write down your answers! The more details you have the better your final presentation will be. These questions are meant to be a starting point for your conversations. Please feel free to add or subtract questions as the conversation dictates. Lastly, please try to avoid one to two word answers. Ask follow-up questions so that you really are talking to each other! You will have about 15-20 minutes to talk to one another and get the interview questions filled out. Then head over to the computers to begin work on your slideshows. Make sure you are sitting next to your partner! Load up Power Point and open the file entitled “Classmate Interview Slideshow” that is saved in our class folder. (I’ll show you how to get there!) Use this template to create a short slideshow “introducing” your partner to the class. You can be creative, add extra slides, put in pictures or animations etc... Remember, you must create your partner’s slideshow and they must create yours. (You can help each other out though!) HAVE FUN and make it look great. We will be showing these to the class so impress me!
