So, technically I have to interview someone older than 70 and ask them 20 questions about...life, or whatever. We have 8 questions already given, as follow:
1) What are the most technological advancements in your lifetime?
2) What did you think when the bomb was dropped on Japan?
3) What was the Great Depression like?
4) What was school like?
5) What is the biggest problem with society today?
6) Who was your favorite president?
7)
a. Is recycling important?
b. What did you recycle?
8) What are the most important things in your life?
I need some suggestions for what the other 12 questions should be.
Thanks.

Ask who was president when they were born....
What was a typical date for a guy and girl when you were a teen....
I notice that a lot of your questions don't really utilize the fact that you are interviewing someone with a lot of history. You could ask anyone who their favorite president is...why would you care about a 70 year old's fave? You know what I am saying?
Ask questions about the time period. How much did a loaf of bread cost or a newspaper?
What was your first car?
Old people love to be asked questions about their past, so make sure you think of some good ones!
What was the average age for young people to get married when you were young?
Did prohibition effect your life at all?
The possibilities are endless!!!

i'm no longer a instructor, yet I even have heard that there is a great deal of challenge, in the coaching profession, that plagiarism is rife presently. it is not merely Y!A, scholars are copying total essays off the internet and submitting it as their very own artwork. in specific circumstances instructors are provided with 2 or extra comparable essays to mark! curiously the scholars do no longer even understand why it particularly is misguided.
