Interview Materials

Well. I wish I had some more context for when I did this activity, but the memory has vanished into thin air. At some point in 2007, I had my 8th graders interview someone in the community and then report out on it to the class. I can't remember what unit I did this as part of...or why I even did it in the first place, so I don't know what other materials to connect it with. SO....below are three lonely documents that you can use if you want kids to interview another person in the community.
