Instructional Ideas

  • Ask participants to make up questions prior to the lesson, then use them for the interview sessions
  • Challenge learners to set appointments with the people they know the least about

Classroom Considerations

  • If you don't have time for 12 interviews, use one of the recommended modifications to trim the lesson down

Pros

  • Activity makes a great ice breaker for leadership activities
  • The plan is easy to set up and execute

Cons

  • None
