Haydn Press Conference

Below is a link to the dialog for the Haydn Press Conference in PDF format. Each "journalist" gets an identity related to the newspaper or news agency they work for. "Haydn" calls on them from his script. For example, Haydn might say, "Now I'll take a question from The Boston Globe." One child has an index card with "The Boston Globe" on it and a question for the composer. The whole class takes notes on the answers.

Note in the document that I've formatted the right margin so the text appears basically on the left half of the page. This is how I printed it so you can easily copy it, cut out the questions, and paste them on index cards for your "journalist" students. In other words, the questions will print perfectly to fit on an index card.
