Interviewing 20 Year Old Students

by Emily

 

Have you ever talked to a 20 year old student? I did. This week, Juana and I interviewed some of the Georgia State students who want to become teachers. Compared to me, they're the upper crust (important people). The interview lasted 20-30 min and I was tickled pink! Some of them talked a lot while the others were very shy. Although they all agreed that the technology use in the school was fantastic! And half of the students said that the art room was their favorite. I really love interviewing people, and this was a chance I wouldn't want to miss!

  Look below for the answers to the following interview question:
