-Question formulation for your interviewee(s)
-The necessary equipment to complete your chosen task
Step 3) Conduct your interview!
-Interview length should be between 5 and 8 minutes (however you can conduct a longer interview and then edit it down later)
-Include information on who you are interviewing and where your interview is taking place (if the place you are interviewing your interviewee(s) is relevent - explain why!)
-Read the interviews tips section
Step 4) Write up your interview.
Remember: your project must be either a newspaper front cover with your written article and pictures OR a video, podcast, comic or presentation of the interview. Your interview can be conducted in Spanish however you will need to provide subtitles or a transcript with your interview translated into English if it is conducted in Spanish or any other language.
Finally, you must provide some extra research you have done about the topics and events discussed in your project submission.

If you can't find an interviewee(s) who lived in Spain during one of these periods you can interview someone else about how the Spanish Civil War or the Franco Regime was reported in other countries. If your interviewee(s) lived through a different war or regime you can use their story for your project. If you cannot find anyone at all to interview then please use one of the following interviews:

Permission: Please ask your interviewee(s) for their signed permission to show other students the interview if you wish to present it to the class or if you wish for it to be included on the school blog.
