1. Steps to remember

2.  Remember
to ask open-ended questions to
encourage meaningful answers with lots of
information about your subject.
 Open-ended questions usually begin with
phrases like:
Tell me about…
What do you think about…
Why…?
How…?

3.  Accuracy
is the most important!
 Write down key words to help you remember
main points.
 Listen for what is important to your subject
(the person you are interviewing). This is the
key to telling readers about your subject.
 Find something that few people might know
about this person.

4.  Remember…you
can’t write down everything.
 Zero in on the unusual or listen for a story
that few people know and take notes. These
notes don’t have to be word for word.
 Jot down key words to help you remember
what to write.
 A good quote, particularly at the end of your
profile is always a strong ending, especially if
that quote is something new and fresh about
your subject. This is one time you do write
down your notes word for word!

5.  Write
your profile.
 Post it.
 Comment on a classmate’s post.
Remember, this is the last assignment in Module 5.

6. Have fun getting to know a classmate and
writing their profile!
