🧭 Interview Protocols for Story Conferences

Students study a short mentor set of interview questions, note-taking formats, and narrative craft moves from personal narratives, then build a 5-question protocol for peer, alumni, and college or financial aid conversations. The teacher models how to separate facts, advice, and opinions in notes and how to ask follow-up questions that uncover values, supports, and realistic next steps. Students leave with a ready-to-use interview guide and evidence tracker for later synthesis.
