Research #2
Quick Outline
We started the week by defining question types and finishing getting our interview lined up. The Interview assignment was introduced in week 3, and we continued to come back to the types of questions that are expected.
We also did the 2nd research topic. The goal here is to build off of the previous research assignment, so make sure that there's enough time between research 1 and research 2 to grade, return, and review the content with them.
They are always encouraged to blog in their free time (to which there shouldn't be a lot of) or comment on their friends' websites.

Details
This week we finished setting up our interviews. Because we're dealing with all kinds of interests, careers, kids, and adults, I set the due date out a week and tell the kids to turn it in whenever they get to it. So, the due date is next week. The goal with the interview is to teach question techniques. I teach them how to identify and build closed, opened, and declarative questions. We practice in class with a dice a few times, and I send them off to work on their questions. The declarative questions are the best because they have to be ready to improvise and use it as a follow up question on the spot. So, it also teaches them how to listen and prepare.
The interview should be added to the webpage, include a picture if possible, and can be video if they'd like to record it.
I also assign the 2nd of 2 research assignments. For this, nothing changes other than them having to look back onto their first research assignment. They have to set 3 goals to accomplish for the 2nd research assignment. They post these goals at the top of their next assignments. These are assigned through Google Classroom.
