The stdents had a tutorial on - How to conduct a research style interview. They learned guidelines and important features of a good interview,. 
Remember to get help from an adult and never give your number out to strangers.

- Don't use language that is biased or will influence the answer 
- Establish a clear purpose for the interview. 

Students should write a request letter for an interview. Their questions should be completed and drafts shown to teacher/mentors this week.
