Procedures/Activities
Step:
1 Duration: 15 minutes
Tell students they will create a survey to administer to
eleventh graders to investigate their work experiences and then chart their
results in graphs. Divide students into small groups of three or four and have
them discuss the various items to include on the survey.
Step: 2 Duration: 30 minutes
Once students have presented their items for the survey,
ensure that they have items specifying gender, type of work
(paid/non-paid/volunteer, etc.); specific work experiences such as
apprenticeship programs, DCT, internships, etc.; other summer options, such as
summer school, post-secondary options, etc. Work with students to finalize the
survey design.
Step: 3 Duration: 15
minutes
Once the survey design has been finalized, have students use
the computer to print up a one-page survey. Brainstorm with students on how to
administer the survey using student groups and arrange with other teachers to
have students administer the survey in other classes.
Step: 4 Duration: 30 minutes
After students have administered the surveys and collected the
data, have them work in groups to enter the data, analyze the data, graph the
data using graphing software and present their results.
