Module 2: WHO CARES?

Page 16

If the pupils are going out on their own it would be advisable to have the questionnaire stamped with the official school stamp to validate it for those being interviewed. An extra sheet of paper may be needed for long answers.

The questions should draw out:
• why people do these jobs
• what is involved
• how much time they give to it (if a paid job whether they stick to a set number of hours)
• what they gain from it
• what qualities are needed for this type of work

follow up topic

Draw together what has been learnt, especially about people's motives and the personal qualities needed for these jobs.

Make a display or book using the questionnaires with pictures from the local newspapers or photographs taken personally.
