Definition: A survey of people, usually statistically analyzed to gauge wider public opinion.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look,
At this word “poll,” it’s quite a book!
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
It's a
survey
, shining like a light.
(Tap-tap-tap on the desk rhythmically)
“Of people,” you see, that’s who we ask,
To find out what’s going on, don’t you task?
And “statistically analyzed” – a tricky phrase,
Means we look for patterns in countless ways!
(Point to the board with a flourish)
It's like counting votes, or gathering clues,
To measure
public opinion
, it’s true.
So a poll helps us know what many think,
A snapshot of feeling, quick as a wink!
Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose?
Let's discuss this word and how it grows!
