Write a short report based on your interview. The teacher must visit the farm prior to the class trip to view the landscape, buildings, and to talk to the owners about the history of the farm and the arrangements for the field trip. Information learned during this visit can be used to compile a one-page handout on the history of the farm. In a class period, show the students the slides of the farm and give them the one-page handout. Begin making a list of questions they may ask but cannot yet be answered.
Students meet with team leaders to discuss project assignments for the remainder of the period.
You will have work to do and you will proceed with it on arrival at the farm. Stay within your assigned team and work station at all times. Ask leading questions. Tape on hand-held recorder. Write a joint report from your interview.
