Abstract
The Character Interview is a drama activity that can be used with students of all ages and in almost any class, with some modifications. The activity can be used as a during-reading or an after-reading activity. It encourages higher-order thinking and addresses many Reading Applications: Literary Text and Reading Process benchmarks, such as asking/answering questions, analyzing character, identifying viewpoints, etc. The activity has students ask questions to characters from a book and then respond to the questions in the voice of one of the characters.
