Instructional Ideas

• Have kids interview each other and fill out the paper as they talk; they can cover favorite things, but maybe allow the owner of the page to fill out favorite friends
• Send this home with kids after you've taken a look so that parents can see their work as well

Classroom Considerations

• For younger students, like preschoolers and kindergartners, you may need to sit down with each individual and write down their responses to the prompts
• There is a box where you or your students can attach a photo; you may need to assign kids to take photos of one another or provide them with pictures of themselves a few days later (a photo printer will certainly make this easier)

Pros

• The printable is visually appealing
• Provides an opportunity for you to quickly get to know a few things about each new learner

Cons

• None
