An Ice Breaker

Educators use surveys as an advanced way to test students. Surveys can be used for different purposes as pre-tests, post-tests, find out about students’ interest, and collect feedback. Although surveys are useful in all the listed purposes previously, but I think I would use a survey for a complete different goal.

The first day of school always needs an ice breaker. Even if the students know you, and worked with you for the last 2 years or more they still wonder. Did she change this year? Is she going to do something new? What are we going to learn? How is she going to teach us?

And as all educators now, students do not spend time on their summer work so most probably they forgot almost everything. I would prefer to use the following survey as an ice breaker for the first session in a grade 5 class. Questions will be about different topics covered in grade 4.

This will be done to:

Break the ice.

Assess students’ knowledge on prior concepts.

Remind students about prior concepts.

Let the students have fun while solving the survey online.
