Activities: 
This week there will be no lesson content.  I am giving you the time you would normally spend on the class work to complete the interview.  You actually have until the week of Thanksgiving to complete the interview and submit the responses to the questions, but I wanted to give you four weeks to schedule the interview and complete the assignment.




You should ask the teachers the questions listed in this lesson.  You may ask additional questions if you wish, but these questions should serve as the basis of your interview.
