Interview questions for feature story

  Please state your name and age for the record.  JADA LEWIS 17 Are you familiar with the term army brat? If so what does it mean and how does it make you feel? Where were you born? How old were you when you first moved?  How many places have you lived in?  (please name them) Were you afraid to move to new places? Has that feeling ever changed? Has there been a place that you wished you would've stayed longer in? Were you ever mad that you had to move away? Did you get used to moving away? Do you feel like moving away has prepared you for life somehow? How was it always being the “new kid” at school? Do you make friends easily or do you usually stay to yourself?   Have you ever been afraid to get too attached to one place?   Where do you currently reside? Would you ever plan on moving back to a particular state or country? How have you been affected by moving multiple times? (the good, bad, all of it)

Lead Story/ Feature Story Practice

First Attempt:   It's 8:00 am and you wake up early in the morning to get picture ready for your brand new free car, you get there and someone tells you that you've been punked. How do you feel? what course of action do you take? Second Attempt: Susan got call last night from the president of a car dealership telling her that she had just won a new car. "OMG OMG OMG I CAN'T BELEIVE I JUST WON", this is what Susan shouted into the phone. She followed the instructions and showed up to the dealership at 9:00 am as scheduled. when Susan showed up, she couldn't believe the news that came next. Someone called 18 people in the city last night. The caller identified himself as the president of Rutherford Ford, Inc., 2780 Doss Boulevard.
