Students could work in groups of 2-5 to do this activity. They should determine the specific individuals they will be surveying. As a group, they can formulate the specific questions they want to ask. These could vary depending on who they will survey. Questions for an adult might be different than questions for a student or child.
Surveys are an experiential instructional strategy.
They refer to the collection of information from a sample to determine the frequency of particular responses. Experiential instruction is student-centred and activity oriented with an emphasis on process, not product. It greatly increases understanding and retention. Students are more motivated because they actively participate and share their experiences. Many schools are made up of students of many ethnic origins.
