About this worksheet
An interview page for upper elementary: partners take turns asking seven questions (birthday, family and pets, weekends, favorite subject and why, a dream place to visit, something most people don't know, a goal for the year) and write the answers in their own words. The last box turns the notes into two sentences to introduce the partner to the class. Black and white, with ruled lines for grade 5. Fifth graders, about ages 10 to 11, answer in full sentences, so the page also works as a first writing sample.
Tips for using it
- Model it first: fill in a copy about yourself on the board or under the document camera, then hand out the sheets.
- For pre-K and kindergarten, read each prompt aloud and let children answer with a drawing; write their words under the drawing for them if they ask.
- Date every page and file it. A September page next to a June page shows growth in drawing and handwriting better than any report card.
- Print the pennant and the poster on card stock so they survive a few weeks on the wall.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
