Writing and Oral Ready Lesson
Title: Surveys
AIM: To find out opinions of a group based on a questionnaire that each student designs.
(Teacher: The questionnaire can be from the most frivolous of questions to more serious subject specific items such as politics, health care matters, or other topics set by yourself)
Task 1: Preparing the written questionnaire
· Each student writes 10 questions he/she wants to ask others
For example: Do you eat vegetables every day?
Do you play a sport?
Do you think that cats are more faithful than dogs?
The answers can only take a yes/no format
Tell the students to draw up a table that looks like this: (long enough to take 10 questions, the student number dependent on your class or given number to survey) See download.
Task 2: Asking the questions.
When students have completed the questions, they go around to each of the other students and fill in the results. Every student should meet with every other in the class. (Home school students can do this as a homework project with friends, family members etc.)
Task 3: Preparing to present the results:
Pre-presentation examples: (teacher task)
When the results are in, the students prepare for an oral presentation of their survey
The teacher should give an example of how the students are to present their results:
For example, “In my survey about health foods / manners / whatever their chosen topic / I asked 10 questions. 8 students were surveyed; these are the results.
Question 1 asked whether ………… 5 students said yes and 3 students said no.
Task 4: Presentations:
Each student presents his/her survey in this way.
If the class is large, this can be done in small groups.
