Thursday May 7: in our end is our beginning

Greetings gentlemen, and pardon the delay,

Today you will need to do two things:

A) Make absolutely certain that the radio show I have from each of you is the one you want to be graded on. We don't meet tomorrow, so effectively, I don't see you guys until next week

B) We also need to begin with the first part of our next assignment. What i would like to see us do is to get a group of seniors -- who are in their last weeks here-- into our production rooms to get some final thoughts from them before they amscray outta here.

As such, what I would like EACH of you to do is this:

  • come up with a series of at least eight questions to ask them
  • make sure the questions cover a wide range of possible topics, such as any advice they might have for underclassmen or incoming freshmen, good times they can recall, favorite classes, opinions about the lunch menu...anything really
  • try to make the questions as open ended as possible.Don't try to force people to say what you think they "should" say
  • naturally, make sure your questions are school appropriate
  • DO NOT DUPLICATE EACH OTHER. Fer cryin' out loud, I don't want 20 seniors getting asked the same boring lifeless questions over and over
  • Try to frame your questions in such a way that the answers you get are longer than a sentence, especially a one or two word sentence. Don't go hunting for "yes" or "no"

Ok, that'll do. Get to it!

Cheers,
Mr. L
