Students work in pairs then in fours, then regroup with the whole group, using breakout rooms and Google docs.

1. Each pair interviews each other for 5 minutes at a time, asking the other “Think of a time when you did _______ successfully, what made that experience successful?The interviewer stays quiet, and can ask probing questions that just encourage the interviewee to expand, such as “why do you think that is?” or “tell me more” but does not offer their own reaction/feedback. After 5 minutes, they switch roles. It helps to take notes of key elements in the other person’s story.
2. Pairs match up with other pairs to make fours. Each person in a pair tells the story of the person they were interviewing and brings out key elements of success. After all have shared, they make a list of elements of success that they can try to take forward.
