45. LIKERTASTIC! (Writing, Feedback)
 
Description: Based on the work of Rensis Likert, American educator, a Likert Scale is a method by which attitudes and opinions are measured in a scripted format with predetermined fixed choices in a visual way.  In Likertastic, students not only share their attitudes and opinions, but also must give specific details that support them. 
 
Application: Use this method to check student attitudes and opinions on a certain subject.
 
Process: Create questions that require students to share attitudes and opinions. Determine the fixed choices such as: strongly disagree, slightly disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, slightly agree, strongly agree.  (Addendum below for additional response options)  Collect Likertastic answers, combine data, and form conclusions about students’ attitudes on a certain subject. See example below:
