Interview

As part of your investigation, you will be carrying out an interview at home!

1. Ask a grandparent, parent or an older member of the community politely for permission to interview them about their childhood. 2. Use the questions below and devise a couple of questions yourself. 3. Print this sheet to take notes on. This will help make the podcast you make in class more realistic. 4. If you have access to a recording device at home, that's fantastic because you can record your interview! Follow the instructions for 'Task 2' and email it to me as an attachment.
