Students study a short mentor set of strong and weak interview questions, then practice turning wonderings into open-ended questions using sentence stems and a class anchor chart. They sort questions into needs, feelings, barriers, and community impact, and prepare a 5-question interview card for the city government representative or other community user. Vocabulary such as evidence, barrier, and stakeholder is added to notebooks with student-friendly definitions.
