Newsday Survey 2008
decorative

This year we have a survey on reading habits, plus a poll to find your favourite book of the past year. You can do just one - but please do both! Here's how it works:-

  1. Get as many copies as you need of the survey/poll form(s) - see below.
  2. Use the survey/poll forms to record answers as you put the questions to different people.
  3. Enter your results into the Newsday Database.
Do all this before the Newsday if at all possible, so all the results from different schools can accumulate.

Then...
  1. Just before you need them, read out the collected results from all the participants, using the links below.
  2. Analyse the results to see what the different trends are... for different ages... compare your own class's responses with the overall results... make graphs/charts to illustrate your findings and write them up as a feature article.
