CHARACTER INTERVIEW:
Host:
We are here with Principal Sam, the main character in a new series of picture
books. Welcome Principal Sam.
Principal
Sam: Hello. Thanks for having me.
Host: Can you tell me a little about yourself?
Principal
Sam: Yes.
I am a lucky man. I am the
principal of Sunnyside School, an elementary school with great kids and
teachers.
Host:
That’s nice. What, if anything, is
special about your school?
Principal
Sam: The student, especially, help me.
Host:
They help you?
Principal
Sam: Yes.
I get confused sometimes.
Host:
I don’t understand.
Principal
Sam: Neither do I sometimes.
Host:
No. I don’t understand how the kids help
you. What are you confused about?
Principal
Sam: I get confused about all sorts of
things.
Host:
Like what?
Principal
Sam: Well, I used to get confused about
the holidays…
Host:
How do you mix-up a holiday?
Principal
Sam: I once tried to celebrate
Thanksgiving on Valentine’s Day.
Host:
How did that work out?
Principal
Sam: It was ok. The kids helped me figure it out. One student gave me a Valentine’s Day card.
Host:
How have you worked through this problem?
Principal
Sam: The students and teachers helped me.
Host:
What did they do?
Principal
Sam: I can’t tell you that. It’s how my
book ends. You’ll have to read the book to
find it out.
Host:
Fair enough. Can you tell me if you
confuse anything else?
Principal
Sam: Sports. I got confused there as
well.
Host:
You mixed-up sports?
Principal
Sam: Yes.
I say things like “Touchdown!” when students score in basketball.
Host:
Can you tell me how you fixed that problem?
Principal
Sam: Nope.
That’s what my second book is all about.
Host: How many books will you have?
Principal
Sam: I’m hoping a lot. Right now I have five book titles. The one about sports, “Principal Sam Gets
Fit,” is coming out now!. The others
will come in time. My next book tells
the story of how I mixed up some famous children’s stories. That book will be titled, “Principal Sam and
the Three Bears.”
Host:
What do you know a lot about?
Principal
Sam: Being kind. Helping others. Working hard.
Those are things I believe in and teach the students at Sunnyside
School. We all support and help each
other.
Host:
It sounds like you have a special school.
Principal
Sam: I do.
Now what was your name again?
Host:
I don’t think I ever told you my name.
Principal
Sam: You might have, and I just forgot.
Host:
I don’t think I did.
Principal
Sam: Well, it’s nice talking to you
anyway.
Host:
The pleasure was all mine. Yikes! We are out of time. Thanks for coming. I hope to see you again Principal Sam.
Principal
Sam: You’ll be seeing a lot of me. My books are becoming VERY popular! I love sharing my stories with children. Thank you so very much!
