During my interview activity, students will be able to work with a partner during the activity to develop various answers for pre-selected interview questions. This lesson will give the students a sense of control that allows students to choose the type of assignment they do or which problems to work on that may just motivate them to do more. Before the start of the lesson, I will define the objectives of the lesson. Students want and need to know what is expected of them in order to stay motivated to work. This includes laying out clear objectives, rules, and expectations of students so that there is no confusion and students have goals to work towards.

This activity will be able to target various types of learners, included but not limited to visual learners, read-write learners, and auditory learners. Each of these types of learners will be accommodated throughout each stage of the lesson. This ensures that every student is learning at all times.

Students are given the opportunity to connect with their peers and recall prior knowledge from the start of the course. Students must know how to be professional (dress and conduct), how to speak clearly and how to think and process information effectively. These items have been taught at the beginning of the course and brought up throughout different activities.

This particular lesson will be used as an informal assessment to ensure that everything that has been taught can be effectively and correctly implemented in an interview setting. The students will be evaluated through their presentation to the class, their professionalism/collaboration with their partner, the answers to the interview questions they have generated and behavior throughout the course of the assignment. Students will be presented with a rubric of what they will be evaluated on during the definition of objectives phase of the project.
