Interview
Today I had an interview at Lakeside Middle School. I actually had a lot of fun. The future sixth-graders were split into groups of 6, but we only had 4 in our group. Each group was led by a teacher in her own classroom.
The interview started with an icebreaker. Our group was given two minutes to come up with four things we had in common. We came up with the facts that we are all not blond, we all like pizza, we are all humans, we are all the oldest sibling, and we all have siblings. We finished very quickly. I think the most efficient way to solve this is to give information about one subject and ask others for information about that subject.
After that, we started on the activities. The first activity was the stranded island activity. We had to plan how to survive on a deserted island. I think the best way to solve this is to think of the essential needs of a human and then work from there, imagining what to do to acquire those needs. The second activity was the classroom invasion activity. We had to think what we would do if we overheard two kids talking suspiciously and sneakily right after a teacher's classroom was vandalized. The best way to solve this, in my opinion, is to eliminate people through fingerprints, shoeprints, the handwriting on the chalkboards, and the people whose projects were destroyed. You could narrow it down to a few people and the questioning would go a lot faster.
In conclusion, I think the activities that we did were all pretty open-ended and creative.
