Polls+or+Quizzes

﻿Polls can be a fun way to survey the class, do a pre-assessment on a unit of study, or take a vote.

Math Integration: Students vote and data gets graphed into line, bar and pictographs or tally charts.

Language Arts Integration: After reading a book, have students infer from text, make predictions, decide on a genre, and more. Below on the left is the 2009 Bluebonnet poll I used with my third graders. The lower half helped determine future read alouds based on student interests. To the right is the pie chart that presented our classes results.



Science/SS Integration: See what the class knows prior to a unit. Prepare a T/F or vocabulary pretest on the solar system to see how much students "know" when preparing a KWL chart. Is Pluto a planet? Is the Sun a planet? What is an asteroid?

Some sites to choice from include: SurveyGizmo, SurveyMonkey, and QuizSnack.
