Lesson 1 — Activity 2: Connecting with Others


In this activity, you will have a chance to think about what you would want to know if you were able to meet or talk to someone you admire or are interested in.

  • Who would you really like to talk to? Why?
  • What kinds of questions would you ask? Why?
  • What would you want to learn about this person?
Being able to find out new things about people, whether from your grandparents or from a celebrity you've seen on the cover of a magazine, is an important communication skill for anyone to have.

Imagine you had the chance to interview someone you had always wanted to meet or someone you already know but want to learn more about.
Connecting with Others


What would you like to know?
Here are some topics you might use if you were interviewing someone:
 
  • Their family: their parents, brothers and sisters, their extended family
  • What they do for fun: interests, activities, likes and dislikes
  • Schooling: where they go or went, favourite subjects and activities, feelings about school
  • Work: their job, career plans and goals
  • Memories: what they remember: celebrations, holidays, experiences
  • Their hopes and dreams: accomplishments, what they wish for, what they look forward to
