10th Grade Conformity and Peer Pressure Survey Due Next Thursday

The results of your survey are due next Thursday. You should have already turned in your survey to me.

In case you were absent, here are the directions:

Your job is to create a survey that you will distribute to 50 different people at Edmonds Woodway High School.

You will need to find people that represent the makeup of Edmonds Woowday High School. Think about the different races, genders, ages and sexual orientations, IB or regular, etc.

You will need to pick a topic to focus on. These will all be related to peer pressure, but you are going to focus your subject a little bit more. Examples might be bullying, academic achievement, relationships, risky behavior, skipping school, etc.

5 questions of your survey should be related to their demographics and family history (age? Sex? single parent household? Siblings? Parents behavior? Parents strictness? Etc.)

15 other questions need to be focused on your topic. An example might be, “Do you consider yourself a leader amongst your friends?”

Once you have your twenty questions, share them with me or a friend. Edit them to make them more effective.
