Interview a Classmate
For this assignment, you will pretend you are a journalist and you will be interviewing the classmate you were paired with. After asking your partner the following questions, create a news article about your partner and their personal culture. You will have three class periods to work on this. Whatever you do not finish in class will be assigned as homework and will be due in another 3 school days. I hope you all have fun getting to know your classmate a little better! :)
