WHAT WERE
YOU THINKING?
|
In order
to get us reflecting on what we might think or believe about a topic
or issue, let us take a poll!
Polls are a
part of our society, whether that comes in the form of a census,
a phone
poll seeking information from clients, a poll that tries to determine
past trends, and possible future trends, polls that help news viewers
determine health and safety trends, etc.
Polls could
play an important part in the classroom too! Issues such as "when"
and "how" polls could be taken could come up. The results could be displayed
in a variety of ways (bar charts, circle graphs, etc.). As well, examining
how polls are conducted in society, could lead the class to see the
bias in polling (who is being asked?, when are they asked?, what
major news event is going on at the time of the polling?, how is the
question phrased? how many people are being asked? Etc.) Better yet, the
website could be used right in the classroom too! Your poll would be
open up to anyone in the world (best to preview the site
first).

part! Please restrict your voting to once per
