Friday, 12/3: Interviews Intro, Paperwork, Mental Floss, Test #12

Before we start: New Project between now and Christmas.

Interview Project

  • Interview someone who is at least 50 years older than you are.
  • Ask five+ questions that require more than a sentence to answer. Try to draw information out of that person.
  • Each question should be “followed up” with another question based on the previous answer.
  • We will write the questions next week; you just need to pick a person in the next couple of days or so.
