The requirements are as follows: Write one introductory paragraph, describing the appearance and mood of the character and the setting of the interview (italicized). Be sure to include: The character s appearance The character s actions/behavior The character s words, thoughts and feelings Ask your character at least 10 questions with at least 5 feed-off questions (labeled Q ). Do not number your questions. The character s answers are thorough and detailed (labeled A ). Within the questions and answers, the following topics are addressed: The character s background/past. How the character feels about events and other characters from the book. How the character thinks s/he compares to a character in another book. What the character thinks will be in his/her future and why. As s/he answers your questions, describe the character s movements, gestures, facial expressions, body language to give the answers richer depth (italicized). It is preferred that the Interview is typed (one-inch margins, 12 point font, Times or Times New Roman font); however, a neatly handwritten report is also acceptable. Each question and its answer is single-spaced; double space between questions. No spelling, mechanical, and/or grammatical errors are present.
