After completing your survey, you should then have 30 words for each age group (some will be repeats). Look at each word and determine what kind of connotation it has: Is it positive (P), negative (N), or neutral (O)? Mark each word. Look at the frequency of the most used terms and also the distribution of P, N, & O.
Discuss the results of your survey. Include answers to the following questions:
Which words were mentioned most frequently for each age group? Were they mostly P, N, or O?
Do the words get more negative as you move from children to senior citizens, or more positive? Or is there no change as you move up each age group?
