“Teachers can learn much of what they need to know about students simply by asking them. Giving out a questionnaire on the first day of a new class shows a student that a teacher cares about their strengths, interests, backgrounds, and concerns about the subject area of the class.” p.4 Everything that I need to know is right in front of me. What easier way to find out about the students than to ask?
I noticed this part of the reading because I have already been thinking about questionnaires and journals for my classes and I found both of these ideas in the first chapter! For me, there was a sense of affirmation that I am on the right track when I read these ideas. I like that there are sample questionnaires for both students and teachers provided to think about.

Good job on this QR. Your second paragraph doesn't always have to be about how you would use the information in your class, you can also include personal reflections, memories, etc. Enjoy the rest of the book, I know I will enjoy reading your future blog entries on it. 5/5
