Thick and Thin Questions/Types of Leaders

This week Ms. Kim came to talk to us about thick and thin questions. This learning is helping us with our interview skills when we have guest speakers come to school, such as when Mr. Coles visited this week. It will also help us later in this unit when we design an interview for a leader.

Here is a photo and the link to what we discovered:
