In Winds of Hope, you read how William becomes known around the world after local newspapers write about his windmill. Reporters must prepare for conducting interviews so that they are able to record the most important facts and details related to the article.

Imagine that you are a reporter and your newspaper has sent you to interview William. Write a news article about William and his windmill. Begin by writing interview questions. Using the 5 Ws and H (who, what, when, where, why, and how) will help you create questions that include the most important information. Then use information from the text to answer your questions as you think William would answer. Don’t forget to use some of the Critical Vocabulary words in your writing.
