Questioning
What
do you need to know to solve the problem or make the decision?
After you send the letter to Uncle Cyrus, you look in
a local newspaper, The Daily Reveille, for job openings.
You see that four businesses are advertising for workers. You decide to
visit each of the four businesses, to learn about the jobs that are
available.
Before you go visit the businesses,
you think of some questions that you want to ask when you get there. Below
are some of your questions. Your
team will choose 3 of them to investigate.
1.
Where
is this job located? (In what part of Whatcom County
will Uncle Cyrus work?)
2.
What
does this job pay? (Will it pay enough for Uncle
Cyrus to support his family?)
3.
What
are the problems with this job? (Will Uncle Cyrus be in any
danger?)
4.
What
are the natural resources needed for this job? (Are there plenty of resources to last a long time, or will
they run out?)
5.
What
kinds of tools and equipment are needed to do this job? (Will Uncle Cyrus need to purchase his own tools and
equipment?)
6.
What
kind of lifestyle will Uncle Cyrus have if he takes this job? (Where will he live, what will he eat, how hard will he
work, etc.?)
7.
What
kinds of skills or knowledge are needed to do this job? (Will Uncle Cyrus need to be trained first?)
8.
What
is the history of this business? (Has this
business been successful in the past?)
Record your three questions now, on
your Note Sheet.
