|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Surveys | 5 | Explain what surveys are, their purpose, and examples of how they are used in daily life. |
| 2 | Overview of MS Forms | 5 | Introduce Microsoft Forms and demonstrate how to create a simple survey. |
| 3 | Group Activity | 10 | In groups of 4-5, students brainstorm and come up with survey questions on a given topic. |
| 4 | Distributing Cards | 5 | Hand out printable survey cards to each student, instructing them to fill them out during the class. |
| 5 | Creating the Survey | 3 | Groups work on inputting their questions into MS Forms to create a survey. |
| 6 | Filling Out Cards | 5 | Students fill out their individual survey cards based on the group-created survey. |
| 7 | Collecting Responses | 2 | Randomly check or collect the filled-out cards to assess understanding without presentations. |
Students will be assessed on participation during group work, the quality of their survey questions, and their engagement in filling out the cards.
"Good morning, class! Today, we’re going to explore an interesting topic: surveys. Can anyone tell me what they think a survey is? Great answers! A survey is a way to gather information from people. We use surveys every day to learn about what people think, like in school for projects, or even in businesses to find out what customers like. Can anyone give me an example of a survey they’ve seen or taken? Awesome! Now that we know what surveys are, let’s move on to how we can create one ourselves."
"Next, I want to introduce you to a special tool called Microsoft Forms. This is a program that helps us create surveys easily. I will show you how to create a simple survey. Look at the screen for a moment… [demonstrate on the computer screen]. First, we start by clicking on 'New Form'. Then, we can type in our questions and choose what type of answers we want. You can have yes/no questions, multiple choice, or even short answers. This is a fantastic way to gather opinions and information quickly!"
"Now, let's get creative! We're going to work in groups of 4 or 5. I want each group to think of a topic for a survey. It could be about your favourite snacks, what games you like to play, or even how often you read. Together, brainstorm some questions you might want to ask. Remember to keep your questions clear and interesting! You have ten minutes for this. Go ahead and get started!"
"Okay, time's up! This was a fantastic brainstorming session. Now, I’m going to hand out some survey cards to each of you. Please take one card. These cards will help you fill out your answers later on. When I hand them out, please listen carefully to the instructions for filling them out during our next activity."
"Now, let’s get back to our computers. This time, we will input the questions your group came up with into Microsoft Forms. Each group should designate one person to type while the others help by making decisions together. You have three minutes to create your survey. Ready, set, go!"
"Fantastic job on those surveys! Now, it’s time for some fun. Each of you needs to fill out the survey cards based on the questions your group created. Remember, your answers are important! Try to answer as honestly as you can. You have five minutes to complete your cards."
"Finally, I would like to know how well we understand our surveys. I am going to collect your filled-out cards now. Please pass them to the front. Excellent work today, class! You all did a wonderful job engaging with the surveys. I can’t wait to see what feedback you get from your homework next class!"
