Student Interest Survey

Though this may seem like an odd collection of interests that might seem hard to relate to teaching, I still can still incorporate these interests into my lessons. My survey asked things like who do the students admire? Where do you like to go? What is your favorite hobby or sport? What is your favorite book? What is your favorite food?...etc.

My teaching subject is art and I teach at an elementary school. Many of the students have hobbies outdoors, so I can teach more nature projects to interest them. Since the students like the new movie Dolphin Tale, I can teach them to draw underwater creatures and create an underwater scene. The most students liked Ghost Stories, so I could have them write and illustrate their own ghost story or do some Halloween projects. There are a lot of possibilities here.
