Interview with grandma or grandpa

Students prepare questions, conduct an interview, and create a shared book of memories.

Steps

1. In class, students prepare 8-10 questions: what school was like, favorite games, first job.
2. At home, they record or write down the answers of a grandma, grandpa, or another older person.
3. In class, they edit the interview onto one page with a photo or drawing.
4. The pages are bound into a class 'Book of Memories', which can be shown to guests.

Tip: Recording with a parent's phone makes the task easier when grandparents live far away.
