It’s been a while since I’ve done a step by step instruction post, so I thought I would share this lesson on questions and surveys.
Objective
- To understand bias in questions
- To consider how to structure answer options.
Equipment
- Exercise books or paper
- Pens
- Ruler/straight edge
- Scissors
- Glue
Step 1
Write out your usual headings: title, date, objective etc. Cut across the page to the spine. Stick the title page to the lower page.
Step 2
Fold the lower half of the page in half and cut down the fold.
Step 3
Fold the loose piece of paper into four equal pieces. Mark the fold positions in the book.
Step 4
Draw horizontal lines across both the upper and lower pages. Cut the upper page to the spine along those lines to make four flaps.
Step 5
Continue the horizontal lines on the lower page under the flaps
Step 6
Label the flaps as shown
Step 7
Give examples of bad questions, good questions, bad response boxes and good response boxes
Step 8
Under each flap justify why each question or response is good or bad.
Review
My class really enjoyed this activity – one of them even wrote it in their feedback. The following are examples from my class. You might even spot some RAG123 on their pages. Follow @ListerKev or search #rag123 on Twitter to find out more.
