Show Answer Key & Explanations
Step-by-step solution for: History - Grade 4 - Term 1
Let’s go through each question one by one and think about how to answer them clearly.
---
Question 2: When was this newspaper released?
This question is asking for a specific date — but since we don’t have the actual newspaper in front of us, the worksheet tells us:
> “Your teacher will tell you a bit more about why this newspaper was a special edition...”
That means you need to ask your teacher or wait for them to give you the date. There’s no way to know just from this page. So the correct thing to write here is:
→ *Ask your teacher for the release date.*
But if you’re filling this out now and must write something, you can write:
→ *I will find out from my teacher.*
---
Activity: Bring some newspaper articles...
This isn’t a question to answer on paper — it’s something you do at home. You’ll bring real newspaper clippings (or printed online articles) about local events to share with class. No written answer needed here unless your teacher asks you to summarize later.

Information from stories and interviews with people:
1. What is an interview?
An interview is when someone asks another person questions to learn about their experiences, opinions, or knowledge. It’s like a conversation where one person wants to understand something better by listening to the other person’s answers.
Example: A reporter talks to a firefighter to learn what happened during a big fire.
✔ Simple answer:
*An interview is when you ask someone questions to learn about their thoughts, experiences, or information they know.*
---
2. If you could have an interview with anyone in the world, who would it be?
This is your personal choice! Think of someone you admire — maybe a scientist, athlete, artist, leader, or even a family member.
Examples:
- Nelson Mandela
- Elon Musk
- Your grandma
- Beyoncé
- Greta Thunberg
✔ Just pick someone and write their name.
Example answer:
*I would interview Malala Yousafzai because she fights for girls’ education.*
---
2.2. What would you like to ask them?
Think of one or two good questions that help you learn something important or interesting from them.
Example if you picked Malala:
*What made you so brave when you were young?*
*How did you keep going after being hurt?*
✔ Write 1–2 simple questions.
Example answer:
*What inspired you to start fighting for education? How do you stay strong when things are hard?*
---
3. Why, do you think, are stories and interviews important when you want to find out about things that have happened?
Stories and interviews help us hear directly from people who lived through events. They give us feelings, details, and perspectives that books or news reports might miss.
Think of it like this:
If you only read a headline like “Fire destroyed school,” you don’t know how scary it was or how kids felt. But if you talk to a student who was there, you hear their voice, their fear, their hope — and that makes the story real.
✔ Simple answer:
*Stories and interviews let us hear real people’s experiences. They help us understand not just what happened, but how it felt and why it matters.*
---
Final Answer:
2. I will find out from my teacher.
1. An interview is when you ask someone questions to learn about their thoughts, experiences, or information they know.
2. I would interview Malala Yousafzai.
2.2. What inspired you to start fighting for education? How do you stay strong when things are hard?
3. Stories and interviews let us hear real people’s experiences. They help us understand not just what happened, but how it felt and why it matters.
