...another survey?

I came across “Sampling Silence” in the 24.9 edition of The Writing Lab Newsletter. Mr. Pettis talked about how he would hand out a small survey that, was a little comedic, and consisted of only 16 questions. They were arranged in three categories the first was about reading habits, like, how much they read, who their favorite author was, where they liked to read and what they like to read. The second was how did they approach writing, like, out-lines, time management, drafts; first – final. The third is about the draft itself. I think that (even though has something similar), should have a questionnaire because it would allow us to take some time, while they check some boxes, to read their essay. We should make it fun, or funny, but also allow us to get a lot of information about the writer (student) at a glance.
