End of Year Survey

Please answer the questions on a scale of 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree), and then leave comments explaining your answer or giving me more info.

This is completely anonymous (not even handwriting can give you away!), so please be honest in your responses. I will use these statements to help with next year’s curriculum, rules, rigor, etc.. And, the more comments you can leave, the better in helping me and next year's classes.

Example - I understand how I'm supposed to answer these questions. Pick a 1 if you strongly disagree and a 5 if you strongly agree. 3 is agree. Then, leave comments in the box after the number.

Comments: Leave your comments here for the question that is above it.

Comments:

I feel safe in English class to voice my opinions, speak my mind, and be myself. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

I feel that I could have achieved an A in English this year if I had really wanted to (if you didn’t already!). 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

Mr .M was helpful whenever I needed assistance or guidance in class, and was available if I needed help. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Mr. M cared about my success as a student, and as a person, in his classroom. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

The atmosphere in Mr. M's classroom was about as controlled as my other classes (noise level, behavior, etc.). 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

"OMAM" was a good text to use to discuss the American dream theme. (This was when we talked about Joe Schmoeseph and The Governator.)

Comments:

Having Mr. M read "OMAM" aloud like we did was a good way to read through the book. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

"Cyrano" was good text to use to discuss the elements of the inner/outer beauty theme. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

Both "Monster" and "Cyrano" were best studied by reading aloud in class, with students as the characters, as we did. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

Vocabulary was done in a way that made it fairly painless for me to do and remember. This includes the daily vocab dissection, the quizzes, and the homework.

Comments:

Pictcharabulary was a good way to review the vocab and helped me better remember the words. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

The movies we watched in class helped to reinforce the texts they went with. (For those with memory problems, we watched "OMAM" and "Roxanne" for "Cyrano.")

Comments:

The multi-genre project was a good way of showing what I knew about certain characters from Cyrano. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

The author study help sheets, sample author study, and time in class helped prepare me to create my author study project. (These are the biography and book help sheets, the checklist, and the example Mr. M showed.)

Comments:

Mr. M’s classroom library had a good variety of books that I was interested in. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

Comments:

Conference sheets for IRP books, and conferencing on these books, were a good way to show Mr. M I read the book and to discuss the main points. 1 = Strongly disagree, 3 = agree, 5 = strongly agree
