"Ask the Public" Project Details

This week, we are going to work on a different type of a project. It is called "Ask the Public" and it goes along with our Mesopotamia Unit. We are going to go out and conduct interviews, asking the public what they think. You are going to be interviewing adults! This is a great opportunity for you to work on the skill of talking to adults. It is a skill 6th graders overall struggle with, so this will be good practice. You are going to interview 6 adults, asking them about Mesopotamia inventions and inventions in general.  The "Ask the Public" detail sheet is attached, but here are a few main details:
DUE: October 22nd, 2012 in class. 60 points.

All the adults I asked got confused on the fourth one. Some thought it was just plain hard! I helped them though. It was kind of fun!
