Bad interviews are never funny -- unless you're a journalism teacher poking fun at all the rookie mistakes young reporters make. Enjoy.

Day 1-Fresh Air
I'm a huge fan of the NPR show Fresh Air. Terry Gross offers insightful interviews with everyone from political wonks to celebrities. Even if you’re a print reporter, it’s a great way to learn about interviewing. We’ll listen to at least one of these:
Puff Daddy interview
Jenna Fischer, of The Office
Tina Fey
As we listen, write down examples of interesting questions Gross asks and observances of her interviewing style.

Day 1-The stories all around us
Answer these questions:
1. Where do I sit at lunch?
2. Who do I talk to in the hallway?
3. What route do I walk to class?
4. What clubs, sports or activities do I know little about?
5. When I look through my yearbook, who don’t I know anything about (beyond their name)?
6. What holds me back from breaking out of my comfort zone?
Shake things up
1. Switch your routine/open your eyes to new ideas.
2. Talk to students you don’t know, teachers you don’t have. Sit at a different lunch table.
3. Take time to listen.
4. Broaden your horizon.
5. Acknowledge what you don’t know and listen.
6. Just watch.
7. Always ask: Anything else going on? Any good story ideas?
