Social Studies Interviews

We have been researching immigration to Alberta over the years. As part of our research we have been conducting interviews about the best places in Alberta as well as other things. After interviewing our peers in Room 1 and 2 we interviewed our grade 1/2 buddies.

On Friday students brought home the interview questions to share with family and friends. Our interview questions are listed below. Hopefully you have seen these questions already, but if not here they are below. Please help complete the interview and return it to class this week. Thanks!

Where is your favourite place in Alberta?
