Wow! Google Docs could be my new favorite thing! I LOVE the survey form, especially since it coalates all the data for you! I do an activity in my class when we study the Holocaust, and I ask each student approximately 30 questions, and for years I have been compiling the information by hand. NO MORE! Next year, I will put the questions on a survey form and watch the miracle of my organized data unfold! Love it, love it, love it!
My survey questions focused on book series, and I asked people why they kept coming back to book series. I know that for myself, I have favorite authors and characters that I return to over and over again. With the exception of one person, all the other people responded that strong characters were the factor that brought them back to series, and I would have to agree. I sometimes find myself wondering what a character would be doing today, or how they solved a problem that was not answered in the book. I think that is the mark of a good writer, someone who can bring me back again and again.
My last question asked what their favorite series was, and I am excited to look up the series that I am unfamiliar with! Overall, I really loved this segment of our wiki assignment!
