The survey found that 90% of students sometimes use extra materials to aid their reading, while 60% agreed that multiple choice questions 4-5 were helpful. It also identified limitations like unclear questions and time constraints from exams. Overall, the survey provided valuable insight for a project on using short stories by Flannery O'Connor to teach reading skills, making the effort worthwhile.

8. 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.

9. REPORT
 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.

10.  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.

11. 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.
