Your first step is to create a list of questions to include in your survey. Some points to ponder...

• You may choose to focus on armed forces (e.g. Army, Navy, RAF) or domestic (Fire, Ambulance, Police) or both.
• Include a range of question types - open, closed, multiple choice, rank order, likert scale etc
• use follow up / 2 part questions
• e.g. for the question 'which of these public services do you feel are the most important .... ' 
• The follow up could be either 'give reasons why you think this?' (open question) OR give them a list of reasons to choose from.
• The purpose of the survey is to find out what the electorate (voting public) feel about the public services. Issues could surround pay, cut backs, 
• Create at least 10 questions. 
• Provide the format for each answer. (see example below)

The questions should be posted on your blog by the end of Friday 27th April. Use the post title 'AO5 sample questions'. Use the label AO5.

e.g. question
