I REALLY like this idea and thank you for sharing.
I do have a concern about kiddos from homes that will make this assignment difficult. I wonder if you make any adaptations/considerations for those students?
Also, just to clarify, do you have a student response section and a parent response section or just one response section for them to collaborate answers on?
thanks so much

LOVE this idea! (and ditto what Skip said about kiddos who don’t have such great support at home)
Thanks! Martina Bex discusses this in more detail on her site. I had student/parent response areas separately. I did have some students fail to turn in their form, though I haven’t counted it against them. My school has mandatory parent volunteer hours and mandatory conferences twice a year, so I didn’t consider the poor support at home angle. I’d probably just have the students fill out the form on their part and leave it at that.
I have never sent home a questionnaire with a syllabus. They are due on Monday – not counting for anything. Some handed theirs in early and out the 10 or so that I received, two parents wanted to be contacted which I took care of immediately. Both parents wanted to know how they could “drill” their kids outside of class. I think I put their minds at ease. One father wanted to make sure that I knew how gifted his son was and how he chose French on a whim. Dad was concerned that he (the dad) had not studied French and that he would not help his son if he needed it. He wanted to know what to do. My answer to dad was that his son would bring pictures home so he could teach dad a story. I asked him to just listen and learn! Sheesh!
In addition, I got many concerns about what they “thought” the syllabus meant when it said they will be able to understand everything that was said in a 90% plus TL class. They were skeptical that they could read a leveled novel in the TL by the end of the year.
These insights will be very useful and later I can say to them: “Remember when you thought you couldn’t read a novel? I will do this again. Thanks, Martina!
