__Interest Survey: __ [] __Grade Level: __ Middle School Grades 6-8 __Brief Description: __ This student interest survey is based on information from the book __Day One and Beyond__ by Rick Wormeli. This survey is a great first day of school activity to do with students to get to know them better. The survey consists of nineteen short answer response questions. It starts with basic get to know questions and moves unto more complex open-ended questions. The basic questions ask students to identify their favorite things such as food, music, and sports. The more complex questions ask them more in depth questions about themselves. The most interesting question I found on this survey was asking the students to think of a title of a book about their life. In my opinion this interest survey is an excellent resource to use during the beginning of the year school and something I can see myself using in the future.

Each question is answer by selecting a rating from a five point scale: 1 = strongly disagree | 2 = moderately disagree | 3 = undecided | 4 = moderately agree | 5 = strongly agree.

After they complete the survey this responses are scored and put into a learning styles scale. The scale identifies students into six learning styles: independent, avoidant, collaborative, dependent, competitive, participate. In the results section of the survey descriptions are included about each learning style. After completing this survey I found it was interesting how accurate it was determining my learning style. I thought it was accurate with my learning style. ======

This survey has ten questions some are multiple choice and other are answered by using a drop down menu and selecting an answer. About half of the questions could be used effectively to find out more information about my students. The questions I would use from this survey include age, heritage, gender, and primary language spoken at home. This survey is short and to the point to gain more information about each student. This information can be used by a teacher to better understand the cultural make up of their classroom. ======
