“Talk Show Time”

Directions:

         *Select a nonfiction book featuring an animal you would like to learn more about.  Get the book “okayed” with Mrs. Hansen.

         *Pretend you’re a talk show host on a program called “Ask the Expert” and you’re interviewing an animal expert (the author).  You will be writing a script.  Introduce the “expert” (the author) and include the title of the book he or she wrote.  Write six meaningful questions you would like to ask him or her about the animal.  Include the answers to the questions.  Include dialogue that is creative.  Have the Talk Show Host conclude the program.  Your script might look something like this:

         Talk Show Host:  (write the question and/or statement)

         Animal Expert/Author:  (write the answer)

         *Write/type neatly as a classmate will either be the host or the expert.  Check your spelling and sentence structure.  You will choose what part you would like to read.

Materials Needed:  Animal book, neatly written or typed script and any props/costumes you would like for the talk show.

Oprah or Dr. Phil move on over!  The “Ask the Expert” talk show is the best talk show around!  Programming begins on December 13!
