Many of you know that students at our school study individual topics, and that they go on trips outside school with trip teachers to visit sites particular to those topics. Sometimes that means interviewing an expert in the field.
When preparing for trips, one of the challenges is to help students learn how to interview. I've been asked to work with five seven and eight year old girls to practice their interviewing skills. They have chosen unit topics that will mean that much of their information will come from interviewing experts. While they are all gifted readers, much of the topic texts are complex. Examples of these topics are Bees, Pollination and Colony Collapse; Sensory Integration and Dyslexia; and World War Two Weapons.
