Objectives Students demonstrate critical thinking skills in developing interview questions.
Students work together in cooperative groups.
Divide the class into four groups. Challenge students to imagine that they are newspaper reporters in 1787 covering the signing of the Constitution. They meet with each of the four signers noted above and ask three questions. Have each group brainstorm the questions they would ask each signer. Tell students that before they can ask the questions, they must research information about each person and about the Constitution.
