What does the sixth grader know about computers?

The other day I was offered to conduct computer lessons with sixth graders in one of the schools. Specific topics are not called, although it seems that the parents were saying something about programming. In general, my task is to offer something.

Before that, I taught programming in grades 9-11 for two years, but in my opinion in 6th grade it would be a bit early.

Computer science has one difficulty that other subjects do not have - a very large variation in the level of computer knowledge of children of the same age. Therefore, before drawing up any program, it is necessary to determine who and what knows. For this purpose, I am offered to write a questionnaire from a dozen questions and let it fill the students.

1. Do you have a computer at home?
2. Do you work with a computer yourself? How often?
3. Why do you most often use a computer? What programs do you use?
4. Can you draw and write texts on a computer?
5. Can you work with the Internet (view websites, read mail)?
6. What do you most often do on the Internet (you watch websites, chat with friends, play)?
7. Can you independently install a new program on your computer?
8. What devices does a computer consist of?
9. Can you write computer programs?
10. What would you like to know about computers?

I will be grateful to everyone who will help to create a questionnaire that will allow more precisely to determine the level of knowledge of students.
