Assignment #1:
Topic: School Uniforms
The school board has decided to create a district wide policy of enforcing school uniforms. Who would you need to interview to find out more information about this topic? What are some good questions to ask? (This is theoretical)
1. List three different sources you could interview for this topic.
2. Create 20 questions you could ask each source and post them on your blog. It will be the same 20 questions for each, so you only have to think of 20 total questions.
Assignment #2:
Imagine you are working, as a reporter, for the school newspaper and your editor gives you the assignment to interview the student of the month.
1. Please come up with 20 questions you could ask them and post them on your blog in a separate post called "Student of the Month Interview."
2. You will pair up with someone next class and ask them your questions, and they will get to ask you their questions. I will assign pairs.
3. Then post the answers you got on your blog, you can post them on the same or a different post. If you use the same post as above, please use a different color, or font, or you can use regular and italics.
4. YOU MUST HAVE THIS DONE BY THE START OF THE NEXT CLASS, SO BUDGET YOUR TIME PLEASE!!
