Are you trying to figure out how to partner-up your students for Writing Workshop? Well, look no farther than this short questionnaire. Students are asked who they want to work with and who they don't want to work with (AND WHY).
Creating solid partnerships in Writing Workshop is exceedingly important since these people will be viewing each other's work all-year long. (You'll be pleasantly surprised with the reasons kids will give you on the "I don't want to work with him/her" section.)
Once you have these sheets completed, it should take you about 30 minutes to phyiscally create the partnerships once your students turn-in their completed questionnaires.
