1. When we start a new unit about a civilization, what are you most excited to explore?

The stories, myths, and people’s daily lives. How the government, roads, and systems worked. The maps, trade routes, and geography. The documents, artifacts, and original sources. Big debates and discussions about ideas. How this connects to my goals and growth.

2. You’re given a group project on a new civilization. Which role feels most like you?

I’m the researcher, finding sources, facts, and evidence. I’m the designer, building the model, layout, or visuals. I’m the communicator, presenting, leading, and connecting ideas. I’m the storyteller, turning the learning into a narrative or script. I’m the supporter, checking in on everyone, keeping us on track.

I enjoy working in groups to share ideas and solve problems.

4. When you face a challenging assignment, what do you do first?

Plan out the steps, due dates, and what needs to be done. Look for examples, models, or information to guide me. Think of creative ways to present or tell the story. Talk with my group or classmates to share ideas.

5. Which type of classroom task feels most satisfying to you?

Finding strong evidence and citing it correctly. Designing something: a model, map, poster, or layout. Presenting or leading a discussion. Writing or drawing a story from someone’s point of view. Helping teammates, organizing materials, or keeping things on track.

6. I like assignments where I can be creative with how I show what I know.

Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly agree

7. You’re studying a major event like the fall of an empire. What do you want to focus on?

The causes and effects over time and how it all connects. The maps, charts, and documents that explain what happened. The personal stories of people who lived through it. The debate about whether it was fair, just, or necessary.

8. I keep track of my assignments, due dates, and goals carefully.

Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly agree

9. When I read a text or watch a video in class, I usually...

Look for key facts, dates, and important evidence. Pay attention to how the story is told and the characters. Try to connect it to bigger patterns or other events. Think about how I would explain it to someone else.

10. How do you feel about reading and using primary sources (like diaries, laws, speeches, or letters)?

I don’t enjoy them and avoid them when I can. They’re okay but not my favorite. I’m interested in them when they’re not too hard. I like them and enjoy figuring out what they mean. I love being a “source detective” and using them to build an argument.

11. If you could choose one type of long-term project, which would you pick?

Design and build a detailed model of a city or civilization. Create a graphic novel, short story, or podcast about life in a civilization. Build a digital or physical archive of sources with explanations. Organize and lead a class debate or simulation. Coordinate a group project where everyone has a clear role and support.

12. I like thinking about how one event in history changed many things that came after it.

Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly agree

13. When you work with a new group, what do you find yourself doing most often?

Starting the conversation and keeping everyone talking. Checking that everyone understands and feels included. Taking notes or tracking what we decide. Drawing, mapping, or designing our plan.

14. I enjoy reflecting on my progress and setting new goals for myself.

Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly agree

15. Imagine we’re doing a simulation where each group is a different civilization. Which job would you choose?

Diplomat – speak for the group and negotiate with others. City Planner – design where everything goes and how it works. Historian – record what happens and why. Bard/Storyteller – turn our experience into a story. Guardian – keep our group focused, fair, and ready.

16. I get energized by discussing big questions about justice, fairness, or what is right and wrong in history.

Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly agree

17. Which of these sounds most like your “superpower” in class?

Finding and organizing information that others miss. Designing and building things that look and work great. Connecting people and helping them understand each other. Seeing patterns and planning ahead. Turning ideas into stories, comics, or visuals. Supporting others and keeping the group steady.

18. When you think about your future, which path sounds most interesting right now?

A job that investigates and analyzes information (like historian, researcher, analyst). A job that designs or builds systems, spaces, or products (like engineer, architect, designer). A job that works closely with people and communication (like lawyer, teacher, diplomat). A job that plans, organizes, and makes big decisions (like manager, strategist, leader). A job that tells stories or creates media (like writer, artist, filmmaker, creator). A job that cares for and supports others (like counselor, coach, community leader).
