Groups explore the roles and responsibilities of family members.
Family Interview Divide the class into five groups based on students' family structure. Have each group develop a mock interview based upon the family structure most like their own. Ask students to use the student page to plan their interviews. Groups present family interviews. As groups present their interviews, invite the class to provide feedback.
