BEHIND THE SCENES IN THE NEWSROOM
We prepared for our first interview by coming up with questions for our person of interest: our school principal, Mr. John Cortens.
The students divided into small groups, and were responsible for jotting down questions regarding one of the following parts of Mr. Corten’s life:
- his baby years
- his childhood years
- his teaching career
- his role as a principal
- his thoughts on the new school
- his future and interests
The kids came up with some really fascinating, original questions for Mr. Cortens.
Some examples include:
- Were you a big or small baby when you were born?
- What colour was your hair when you were a baby?
- What kinds of toys did you like playing with when you were a little kid?
- Do you have any brothers or sisters?
- When you were a teacher, what grades did you teach?
- Where did you teach?
- What do you like most about being a principal?
- What’s your favourite thing to do when you aren’t being a principal?
- Can you tell us your favourite places to visit?
And finally, one of my all time faves…
