was focused on high school students.

We done a questionary with two parts: information questions and

multiple choice questions.

THE LIMITATIONS

We have the problem that two questions weren´t well stated

The factor time was another difficult becuase the students had

exams and we have to stayed a lot of time waiting for them.

Finally, the limit of time because we are working following a

calendar.

For the survey we chose twenty five students of 16,17,and

18 ages of OCTAVIO CORDERO PALACIOS high school.

The students that were interviewed were in quimico

biologo, fisico matematico and this work took about 25

minutes in their classrooms .

We are agree with the survey becuase the students were

an excellent option for find new information about reading

skills in class, and apply their opinions in the project.

We are concients that was imporant to ask for permission

to the director because students are a fundamental element

in the educative institution.

REPORT

In the survey we found that students have their own point of view .

They need more interaction of the teaher to improve reading skill.

Some of them ask that the teacher read aloud becuase it is a

comprehensible way to understand reading.

As additional information they prefer discussion in clase not only a

empty reading. They consider that new authors that have new ideas

help them to think, to learn more vocabulary, to improve their

knowledge.

They help us to follow in our project and have a clear vision about

reading skills in class and the way to work later in create a reading

activity using a short story of Flannery O´connor.

WAS IT WORTH DOING?WHY?

It was a hard work that requires dedication and time but it

was a significant step that help us to collect information for

our project and also it help us to clarify certains doubts

about the project. So, do the survey taught us one of the

ways to get information and how it could be anlyzed.
