Polls & Surveys make great Quick Reads 10% sampling of your readership Reported in percentages Survey 10-person inquiry Reported as “X many out of 10”

Getting Polls and Surveys Setting guidelines for polls/surveys Apply the “3-day rule;” do not take longer than three days Day 1: create questions Day 2: conduct questioning Day 3: compile results & file Establish appropriate format Limit questions to 5 per survey; 2 per poll Conduct at registration, picture day, homerooms

Do your homework Determine focus of questionnaire, poll or survey Define size & characteristics of group (125 students? Just boys? Just athletes? Etc.) Carefully word questions/answers Include short answer & multiple choice objective and subjective questions Include administrative instructions Where should they be turned in and when?

Compile Results Set a timeline & place for collection of completed questionnaires, polls or surveys Compute data/statistics Compile quotable responses Analyze material Determine impact on book decisions How does it contribute to the story & how to integrate into coverage Send thank you notes to resources, if necessary

Use the Info In headlines In news features As quick reads In captions To convey thought for primary headline or add details to coverage in secondary In news features To add substantial, quantifiable details to lead, quotes, transitions & conclusion As quick reads To showcase personalities or particulars In captions To personalize the photo allowing those directly involved to tell their stories

So, go talk to somebody! Create two different poll questions and go ask 10 different students each question. You should talk to 20 people total. Take careful notes. Write down any good quotes. Create a poll question for a sports team or club. Ask 10% of the enrollment (ie: If there are 1200 students in the school, ask at least 120). Keep careful notes. Use math to create a pie chart or graph. Create a questionnaire for teachers asking questions about their classes. Distribute and collect within the week. Advisor Notes/Tips: This is an assignment!

HAVE FUN! Now, create something! Make a graph or chart with the information you found. Create a cool quote box/graphic to showcase your best quotes. Make a quiz or interactive piece to go with one of your questions or quick reads HAVE FUN! Advisor Notes/Tips: This part two of the assignment!
