**Questions & Answers**

Now that you've introduced yourself to your partner, it's time to start asking questions and answering others. You and your partner will begin discussing the differences between high school and middle school, among other things, and in the process you'll be reminiscing!

**The Process**

__**1. If your partner has already asked you a question in your video, please respond to it with the following process:**__


 *  **A. Go to your partner wiki page.** (For example: if my partner is Paul Hughes, I press his page name).
 * **B. Press the "Discusssion" tab on the tab bar above your partner's page.**
 * **C. Press "New Post."**
 * **D. Type a Subject and then type your response in the message box. Be sure to press "Post" when you are finished.**
 * REMINDER: Even though this is an online forum, you should maintain proper punctuation, sentence structure, and language.

**__2. Next, ask your partner a question!__** Types of questions you may ask: > Once you've thought of a question, you'll want to get it approved by Mrs. Snyder/Mrs. Herring. As always, your question should be school appropriate.
 * Think about what scares you the most. Think about what worries you about transitioning to the high school. Think about what you're currently involved with at the middle school... will it continue in the high school? Think about what you've heard about the high school... don't you want to know if those rumors are true?
 * __Examples:__
 * What types of activities and clubs are available at the high school that I may not be aware of?
 * What is something that I need to know about the high school before going there?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'm worried about the cafeteria... any suggestions about the first day? or, what do I need to know about lunch?
