Plan Title

Student Interviews: Comparing and Contrasting your Own Life

Teacher Plan Overview

Students will watch interviews of former or current middle school students talking about college. Students will watch the interviews to determine whether or not the interviewee’s interests, point of view, and story compares to or contrasts with their own set of interests and experiences. This activity gives students an opportunity to analyze videos as informational text.
