Now that we are back after the Easter holidays... I would like us to start work on our 'Funny interviews'  

We've had a little practice at our lines and a some fun practising role play, this week I would like us to swap partners... 

Think about the following;

If you choose to be the interviewee then you will need to think about your character;

Are you famous?

Are you an actor or a singer?

Do you have a big ego? 

Are you a drama queen or a wallflower?

If you choose to be the interviewer then you will need to think about your character;

Are you a kind person?

Do you want people to know the truth?

Are you a bad person or a good one?

Are you a gossip?

Also up for grabs...

The show presenter

      Would you like to be the show presenter? why?

Once we have the script we will have time to practise before we make our video...

Well done guys!
