## Step 7 - Task

Interview questions and answers
Your school has had an innovative idea. Read about it.

Memo: to all staff About: mobile phones We all know about digital addiction and the school wants to try giving students several hours with no mobile phones. From now on, all students will leave their mobile phones in a box as soon as they go into their first lesson. The box will be taken away and put in a safe. The phones will be distributed for use from lunchtime only. We would like to involve the students. So selected Year 4 students will collect and distribute the phones. We would like Year 6 students to hold interviews with interested Year 4 students. Please organize this with interested year 6 students.

Your class has been asked to write out some questions to interview students to do these jobs.

- Make a list of the qualities that the Year 4 students will need to do this work.
- Then make a list of questions to find out whether the students have these qualities.

Tip:
Try to avoid yes/no questions e.g. Are you reliable?
Better: Why do you think being reliable is important? Tell me about a time when you had to be reliable.
Write 10 questions. Then interview your partner to see if he or she could do this job.
