Maybe you’ve noticed the ‘poll’ on the right side of this blog, asking questions about school improvement plans. Maybe you answered it (someone did). Regardless, it’s there, and it needs to be updated. Interested in creating a poll? A little voluntary response poll? Here ya go. Consider some related questions, come up with options as responses, run it by me, and I’ll temporarily give you admin privileges on this blog to insert that poll. You’ll then need to attempt to ‘market’ it yourself (i.e., get some students to vote), tally the results, and conclude by creating a guest blog entry where you both detail and graphically show the results. Sounds deep and involved, but actually not too bad, and it can be offered to many students for completion, as the window of time the poll stays active will be set to 2 weeks.
To complete:
1. Consider a poll question that is both appropriate and interesting that can be asked of students in this particular venue, followed by considering possible answers to the poll question (options). The questions cannot be yes/no, there has to be some variability to what is being answered.
2. Show me the questions/responses you’ve created, and we’ll hammer out the best path forward to get it approved (by me) and placed on the blog.
3. I’ll make you a temporary admin on this blog page, and you’ll input the poll in the correct spot in lieu of what is currently there.
4. Two weeks will go by, in which time you should gently push your classmates to answer the poll.
5. At the end of the two weeks, you’ll collect the data and create a new blog post (like the one you’re reading) showing the results and detailing your processes.
p.s. The results are tabulated on the blog, including charts and graphs.
