Early Adolescents Environmental Ed. Leadership, Citizenship Leisure Ed. In the Eco-Survey activity, kids explore how their personal values shape where people stand on issues and what actions they will take.
Kids investigate and evaluate community members' attitudes about community issues.
Tell the kids they'll explore how to find out other people's views on issues. Have them choose an issue to focus on using a survey. For example, your group could survey people on wetlands, forests, parks or recycling, or on what young people in the community most need. Also ask them to add any questions they feel might be helpful. Once the kids have agreed on all their survey questions, have them practice reading the questions to each other and recording their responses.
