Description of Activity
Students imagine that they have won a competition to be a guest on a television talk show. They write the script of an interview about whether they enjoyed the novel they have been reading in class or not and give reasons why. Students write in script format and include questions they might be asked and the answers they would give.
The suggested time for this activity is 40 minutes.
Context
Students have been reading a novel in class. They have an understanding of the purpose, language features and structures of a variety of texts, including novels and scripts for performance.
