SURVEY PROJECT

You will choose a partner for this project (no more than 3 in any group).  In your group you will come up with whatever topic you wish to survey and you will survey the class to get their response.  Examples can be favorite candy, cars, colors, type of cell phone, music type, song, shoes, etc….. options are really endless.  Only one group per class can have the same topic.  You must have at least 6 choices for your classmates to choose from.

Ask each person in class, including yourselves, to vote on your topic.  (you can create an interactive Google sheet with your choices and share it with everyone in the class and they can vote on it, or you may print out a sheet and have each student vote)

Once everyone in class has had an opportunity to vote on every group’s topics you will calculate your results and create a Google Sheet or Excel spreadsheet to show your results.  Use borders, shadings, merging, different size fonts, etc to present your results.

You will then create two charts to show the results in picture form.  You will create either a Bar or Column chart and a Pie chart.  Make sure and title each chart etc….

Title this document Survey_whateveryourtopicis.  Each person will turn in this assignment so make sure you share it with each member of the group.
