Luna profe: how to write an interview in spanish

E-mails are today's representation of the regular post-mail we have had for ages. For some generations that connection is sound and clear but for younger generations, due to changes in communication channels (social networks, phone apps...) the email format is better not to take it for granted. Make sure you go through this format with your students and they understand it.
I've found out after taking this to class that as a teacher you have to make sure your students understand that their email address is something important. Some of them, unintentionally of course, don't quite understand the difference between professional and personal/private and will use funny/unprofessional addresses such like thestudentinthebackoftehclass@jemeil.com

Resumen correo electrónico informal:

saludo inicial y despedida ("querido" / "besos")
incluirá algún tipo de estructura que permita identificar el texto como correo electrónico.
el registro será informal normalmente, debido al destinatario, tono intimista.
el formato debe ser el de un correo electrónico con encabezamiento y despedida (por ejemplo, "te escribo porque hace mucho tiempo que no tengo noticias tuyas... y despedida: "escríbeme")
se valorarán positivamente la utilización de recursos retóricos como exclamaciones y repeticiones para lograr un tono convincente

IB Spanish text types: la entrevista

This type of text is interactive, that means an interview is an active exchange between (at least) two people. Keep that in mind when writing your interview and also that the interview can appear in your paper 1, 2 and Internal Assessment as can be a valid format for your Interactive Oral exam [worth 10% of your final score]. Read some considerations underneath to score high.

Make sure you:

- remember that the interview is a dialogue, so follow that format.
- include a title, the date of the interview and where it was conducted
- include specific features of the interview:

introduction indicating the point of the interview, who is being interviewed, and who is conducting the interview.
set of questions and answers
conclusion

- use precise and clear language

- use a informal / formal register depending upon your audience and purpose, but in most of the situations the proper register will be the formal, semi-formal.

Some documents to use along with this post to master this text type.
- Considerations to write an interview [pdf]
- An example of an interview with reading comprehension questions [pdf]
