1. Design a questionnaire to find out what people in your area think of wind farms. Remember the information is easier to analyse if you ask a series of closed questions – those with yes/no answers or with a graded answer e.g. 1 to 5. How will you decide on the sample of people to be asked?
2. Watch the BBC audio video of " UK's most powerful windfarm opens" This £50m wind farm is in mid Wales near Aberystwyth. The video gives different opinions on wind farms.
3. Research other recent news items on the web about wind farms in Wales. Choose one area in the news and in a table with two columns headed FOR and AGAINST summarise people’s opinions on one wind farm proposal in Wales.
4. What is your opinion on wind farms? Write a paragraph on the arguments for, a paragraph on the arguments against and then a final one giving your opinion, stating why you have come to this decision.
