Social Studies - Interview Questions

Interview For Chapter 9

You will be working in a group to present to the class what a person’s day was like during Ancient Egyptian Times.  You will get a chance to draw what social class you will be presenting to the class.   

Two students will take the role of a person from one of the social classes. Your job is to know what your role would have been if you were alive during Ancient Egyptian times during the New Kingdom (1600 to 1100 BCE). You will be responsible for answering  8 - 10 questions about your position, role, and jobs during this time. Two other students will be responsible for asking the questions.  

As a team, you will write interview questions and practice asking and answering them as if it was a true interview you might see on television.  You may want to watch an interview on TV to get a sense of audience and presence of the interviewer and interviewee.  Remember to try to ask questions in a way that makes the audience feel it is during that time period.
