FAQs

What does the “Get to know me!” worksheet cover?

This Grade 6 History worksheet uses open-ended, multiple-select, multiple-choice, and fill-in-the-blank questions to help students share their interests, first-day feelings, goals, and expectations for history class. It builds students’ ability to communicate about themselves while helping them recognize anticipated sixth-grade topics such as ancient civilizations and the migration of modern humans.

How can I use this worksheet to teach sixth-grade history?

Use “Get to know me!” as an opening activity before beginning the history curriculum. Review the questions about expected topics, such as the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, then invite students to explain what they already think they know and what they want to learn. The personal prompts can also support introductory discussions about students’ goals and attitudes toward a new subject.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?

Students may choose only one response on a multiple-select item, even when several options apply, particularly for questions about sports, advice, or sixth-grade goals. They may also confuse the fill-in-the-blank items about last year’s sixth-grade preferences with questions asking for their own favorite subject or activity. Remind students to read each question type carefully and answer the open-ended prompts with their own information.

How do I assign and grade this worksheet?

The “Get to know me!” worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key. You can review students’ personal responses and score the fixed-response items using the key; printable submissions can also be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app.

How can I differentiate this “Get to know me!” worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the open-ended prompts and answer choices are easier to read and complete. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the student-interest and history-expectation questions into another language.
