This holiday homework is the preliminary work for the end-of-the- session English project.
Students are to select a person from your day-today interaction and interview him/her. The
interview (with the questions and answers) is to be presented in the written form and it
should be followed by a report on the interview.
Cover page: the covering should contain the student’s name, class & section, roll number
and the title, English Project, centrally aligned
Page 1: Certificate
Page 2: Acknowledgement
Page 3- 5: Interview (A brief introduction in 80-100 words about the person you are
interviewing followed by the question and answers. At least 7 to 10 questions should be
asked. The photograph of the person you are interviewing should be given.)
Page 6- 7: Report
Page 8: Bibliography
The report should try to answer the following questions:
Why did you select the person you interviewed as your subject? What makes him/ her stand
apart from others?
How did you go about the whole process? For example, you can write about how many
meetings you had and so on.
What are your observations about the person you interviewed and your conclusions?
Please Note:
Your interview should not comprise of a series of yes/ no question and answers.
The project should be handwritten.
Students can go through the lesson Interview from the English Reader for guidance.
Learning Outcomes:
Students learn the techniques of interviewing and the art of presenting it in the written form.
