Interview Book Report 
Interview Short Story/Book Report
Prepare a two-minute interview with one of the characters in the book you read. Pretend that this character is being interviewed by a magazine or newspaper reporter. You may do this project with a partner, but be sure to write a script before taping. You may choose to do a "live" version of this. While your presentation is important, your script is what will be graded.
