Open or leading? — Interview Corner · Free Press

Leo will interview the invented school's head cook about the new menu. Sort her draft questions: fair, or unfair because they push for an answer.

Your task

Sort each question.

An open question lets the person answer in their own words. A leading question puts the answer in their mouth.
Invented newsrooms and stories to learn from, not real news. Before sharing anything about real people, ask a trusted adult.
