Chapter 11: Extend Your Knowledge (Page 335, #1)
Additional instructions:
Make sure you interview children from a Pre-K (four years old) not kindergarten (five year olds). Decide on your list of questions (minimum of ten, 10) before you begin the interview and make sure you print those out before you arrive for the interview. Follow a certain theme instead of just asking random questions.
Remember that the question is about where we get goods from. For example, if you want to ask about clothes, then make sure all your questions follow a logical order about clothes.
Remember that you will also have questions that arise as you interview the children. Plan on spending around 30 to 45 minutes with the children. You may want to tape the session so you can refer to the tape to remind you of what the children said.
List your questions (a minimum of ten, 10) and then a summary paragraph of comments from the children for each question. Follow this format: question, paragraph.
