The Mighty Cave Of Cool Survey


This should keep you busy and add some joy to your humdrum summer existence .

This was the survey I would give my students at the start of the school year .I would then have them write an autobiography about themselves. Next, they made these huge identity collages. It was a hoot to go back and read the same autobiographies to everyone when June came around. Nine months are like a thousand years to a teenager. SO much happens to them in those crucial developmental years. How could they not be affected and changed?

Oh to be in the classroom again.

Answer these if you like and send your answers to heightonc@yahoo.com. I would be interested in all of your answers. My answers can be found on the second list below
