Mr Scobie had asked the class to write down a few preferences on who each person would like as their storyteller for homework the night before, but only a few people had written anything. This was discussed in class, and it became clear that most people weren’t sure who they wanted to interview, and some didn’t seem to care. Mr Scobie let people make their decisions in class, and although most people were able to pick a storyteller, some people had to be assigned one, or needed help in choosing one. There was also a couple of arguments between students over who would get to interview the more popular storytellers, and Mr Scobie solved these arguments by simply flipping a coin.

After everyone had been assigned a storyteller, Mr Scobie began to organise some of the initial interview times. Not many people were able to confirm an interview time with Mr Scobie, and this resulted in him complaining to the class about their lack of organization and their apparent laziness.
