Decide ahead of time what you really want to know about your students'
knowledge and skills. Draft a short list of questions to get at these
concepts and collect any manipulatives or visuals that might be useful.
For example, if you are teaching about weather, you might want students
to identify weather instruments and show how they are used to take measurements.
Find a place that is somewhat out of the way in the classroom for the
interviews, so as not to distract the other students or give them clues
to what the interview questions are. Make brief notes as students answer
the interview questions, and add to these later on as you reflect on what
the students said or did.
