For the past two weeks we have done this activity where you have to survey a maximum of 40 people. It was meant to be 10 per person in your group but we only surveyed 40 people. Before you can survey students, you have to make a topic first. We chose to talk about what extra curricular students would like to see more next year. And we needed to include a follow up questions which are why they chose it, whether they would participate if ever if shows up, and how it would be beneficial to students. After you survey the 40 people in our school you have to make a graph about the survey. After that you have to analyse for comparisons and include a written report about the choices that students have made. We also needed to make a slideshow and put our graphs there. Due to the fact that we surveyed a lot of students, our teacher, tita delia, suggested that we split up the activities and group them. For example the students have said they wanted to see more cultural cooking, baking and more cultural activities. Then that would be the cultural group. And basketball, netball, and badminton. These would be in the sports group. That’s how we separated the choices and made 4 different graphs according to their group and made one that shows all of the choices. Also there were roles we needed to assign before starting. There are 5 roles in a group. No more, no less. You need 5 people in your group and those roles are: facilitator, recorder/notetaker, reporter/spoke person, Time keeper, and Encourager. For my part I was the notetaker of the group. The one who takes notes of the choice of the students as they answer. Writing their choices and why they chose it or whether they’ll participate if ever their choice will show up next year. Although there was supposed to be only one spoken person, we talked as a group and decided that everyone in our group would take part in speaking in front of the class. I decided to take the part where I have to talk about the cultural activities.
The learning intention was to be able to work in a team, conduct a school-wide survey, to write a short analytical report and lastly to be able to deliver a clear and organized report.
I would say that the most challenging part of this activity was to approach students who would actually take your survey seriously because some students might not be interested in answering the questions on the survey. And it was also the most challenging part because as for me i’m not very extroverted and i’d like to say that this activity helped me to practice talking to strangers especially when you need. It wasn’t that challenging because we did it in a group so I wasn’t the only one who asked students about the survey. From this experience I learned how to properly make up a survey, and to be able to write a clear analytical report. I would say I did achieve the learning objectives because I managed to do the learning objectives. As for my language skills, I think I’m getting better at speaking in front. Unlike before I don’t feel that nervous like I used to. I’ve made some mistakes as well, such as pronouncing some words wrong and not pointing out the graph while I was talking, but overall I think I did well with this activity. Although I’m getting better with presenting in front of the class I still have a lot of improvement to make. I can apply these that i have learned in real life by knowing how to cooperate in a group and learn how to communicate properly to others.
