Questions
/ instructions:
Imagine that your
team is going to set up a popcorn factory in your school to help raise
funds for a school trip. Before you start to make popcorn, you need
to have good information. You need to know about the kind of popcorn
people might want to buy, and the best way to sell it. You would need
to get your information from the people who might buy the popcorn, so
you will need to think of questions to ask them.
To start off, each person in your team will do some thinking on your
own. On your own, make up a list of the things that you think might
make people want to buy your popcorn. See how many things you can think
of. I'll give you each a piece of paper to write your list of things
on. You can have two or three minutes to do this.
Give each student
an answer sheet and supervise independent work.
You've each had
a chance to think about things that might make people want to buy the
popcorn you will make at your factory. It would be a good idea to make
up a list of questions, or a survey, so that you can get information
from quite a few people; information that would help you to decide what
kind of popcorn to make, and how you would sell it.
It's time to work as a team now. First, each person is to tell the others
the things they thought of that might cause people to want to buy your
popcorn. After that, your team is to make up a set of questions, or
a survey, that you will use to find out information that will help you
decide what kind of popcorn to make, and how you would sell it. You
can plan and write your questions on this paper, and you can have about
10 minutes to make up your survey. After that you can try out your survey
on me, and ask me your questions. Let me know when you are finished.
Give out team
answer sheet. Allow up to 10 minutes.
Now you can try
out your survey by asking me your questions. I'll tell you what my answers
would be. |
