Back to Top Interview a Shark There are 370 species of sharks. Divide your class into pairs, and have each pair choose one of the species to interview. Before starting their research, students should decide what questions they want to ask their shark. Then, using the many resources available online or in the library, they should find out the answers to their questions. When it's time to conduct the interview, one partner in each pair should role-play the interviewer and the other, the shark.
Partners can switch roles, if they like.
Students can enact their interviews live or videotape their interviews and play them for the class later. Shark Lap-Sit Sharks are an important part of the ocean ecosystem. Use this activity to demonstrate what would happen if they disappeared. Ask students to stand in a circle and count off by fours. All the ones are sharks, twos are shark prey, threes are shark space, and fours are shark shelter.
