Fulfilling the Promise pgs. 100-103

I enjoyed this reading assignment, even though it was brief, it was enjoyable but relaxing. It left some time for me to reflect on the subject of student surveys. This strategy of giving your students an interest strategy would work very well in helping you to group your students according to their individual learning style. This information would also seem to work well in helping you gain their comfort and trust by making connections with their interests inside and outside the classroom. This information can be used to shape you lessons and units around so that children are interactive and they will be able to learn about one anothers' interests.
After reading these two types of inventories I figured, i liked the questions that asked where the student has found success in school. This question would help me to notice that subject or concept they did well in. Then, I would ask questions about the areas they would like extra help in or that they knew they were not confident in. After receiving this information, I would then group students according to their weaknesses and work with those groups in that subject area.
