Preparing for a visit from: "Flocab"

Students: we have a great opportunity before us that we must get prepared for. Let me explain : Each Friday, while you watch ChannelOne, Flocab stops by and drops some sick rhymes about all the major happenings of the week from around the world. You need to appreciate what Flocab does. It is creativity at its best. Using rap for something good. Too many times rap music is just a long list of profanity. With Flocab, they use their musical talents and writing talents in a very productive way: by teaching us. Seriously, stop and force your 6th grade minds to think about just how cool it is that Flocab can turn all the stories from the week into a rap that makes sense, covers the topics, and is highly creative with the writing. I have managed to set-up an interview with Flocab. Fortunately for us, Flocab is a group of cool people, and they have agreed to answer some questions for us. So, we have some work to do. To prepare for our interview with Flocab, you will post me a question or two that you want answered. I will read through them and pick 8 to 10 questions that I think are good ones. You will not get all your questions answered, so choose something that you want answered the MOST. I have been known to give "half truths" or exaggerate things, or mislead you on certain things. But believe me when I tell you: this is a serious/real interview with Flocab.

Task: Post a question for Flocab. I will read through all your questions and select 8 or 10 questions to ask Flocab on this blog.
