Interviewing a clothing expert

The students dig into the understanding of the problems of fashion by asking questions.

The intention is to learn how to interview someone, while learning about clothing problems.

Divide students in groups using the Random Groups method.

Using the User Interview method and respective Interview Guide resource, students create questions, and find local clothing stakeholders/experts to interview. Give them tips on where to look: local clothing stores, second-hand stores, thrift shops, or family members who make/repair clothing as a hobby. This can be homework, or can be internet search exercise during class.

Students give feedback to other groups using the Two Stars and a Wish method.

Invite the experts to class, or let students interview the experts as homework.

Ask students to share their results in class using the 3-Point Presentation method.
