Midpoint Writing Attitude Survey

On Tuesday, I gave students the Writing Attitude Survey and compared the results from the baseline data. Below are the results I found.

·         There are now no students who are highly upset about writing about something they have heard or seen.

·         There is one less student that is happiest about becoming an even better writer than they already are.

·         There is one more student that is highly upset about writing more in school.

·         There is one less student that is happiest about keeping a journal in class.

·         There are less students that are happy about writing about something that has happened in their life and more students who are upset about this.

·         Less students are highly upset about a classmate reading what they wrote.

·         More students are feeling happier if they did not write as much in school.

Like with the Reading Attitude Survey, I am a little surprised about some of the results and would like to talk to the kids about why they chose these answers. I think this will help me better understand their attitudes.
