Curriculum ~ Writing Creating Info-Graphics So, go talk to somebody! Create two different poll questions and go ask 10 different students each question. You should talk to 20 people total. Take careful notes. Write down any good quotes. Create a poll question for a sports team or club. Ask 10% of the enrollment (ie: If there are 1200 students in the school, ask at least 120). Keep careful notes. Use math to create a pie chart or graph. Create a questionnaire for teachers asking questions about their classes. Distribute and collect within the week.
