Questionnaire In this session, students will create and use their questionnaire to interview others. Put students into groups. Encourage them to use all the language in their portfolio to help them with the task. Tell them to pool together all the expressions, questions, and opinions they wrote and decide together on a final version. Tell them they can decide if their questionnaire includes statements with options (agree/disagree) or questions to answer. Let students produce their final version on their own pieces of paper, so that they can use it to interview a classmate. Remember you always have the option to adapt the product to your class’s needs and interests. If students are not confident enough to come to the front of the class, first put them into pairs and ask them to practice. You can then regroup and ask them to practice again and again, until they feel more confident.
