Tips for FOAs: Street Interviews

See the wikihow page for good tips on how to do good street interviews.  And this blogpost is also useful.

Make sure you define your learning objective clearly: what do YOU want to find out by doing these interviews.  How does this relate to the selected IB learning objective?

By necessity, street interviews will be limited to using print media examples.

Do not take too much time on one person: no more than three questions per person.  Make sure the questions are clear and self-explanatory.
