How to write a survey.
Notes:
1. Decide what information you want to gather from the survey.
Eg. You want to spend 10,000 and you want to know if students/staff at the school would be interested
in HOW you want to spend the money.
2. Keep the survey as short as possible, asking only those questions that will provide the information you need.
Eg. Don’t ask about garbage when you want to know about people’s opinions on gym equipment.

You want to be able to tally the answers AND then graph your results later.
Closed questions can be:
A ratings scale like:
Example (circle one) We need more gym equipment at school.
Strongly agree agree neutral/no opinion disagree strongly disagree
Are better than…
strongly agree strongly disagree
(You want to get and compile information that is easier to graph later.)
Another type of closed question can be a simple.
e.g.
We need more gym equipment.
Yes No Maybe
Or give choices
If we bought new equipment, we should spend it on.
a) balls (soccer, volleyball) b) jerseys c) lacrosse d)other
If other, what ideas do you have? (Please list a few.)
* Note this is an open question but good for providing evidence when
you do your presentation later. "Some people thought we should get
more equipment for things such as: ....)
When you get back your surveys, you tally the results and graph them.
The graphs will help give proof to why YOUR ideas are best.
