PART A-I interviewed Mr. McCloud, an earth science teacher at Hinsdale Central. He knows a lot about the planet earth because he has studied it for many years. He is a reliable source because if he didn'tknow a lot about his topic i'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been hired as a teacher for our school.
I interviewed Mr. McCloud last Tuesday morining in his classroom. I asked him a series of questionsthat i had already written out prior to the meeting.
PART B- the Questions and Answers from the interview(in bullet point form)....
