Statistics

__Thursday 2 June 2011__ L.I. We are learning to draw conclusions from our findings and make recommendations.

1. According to your survey, students prefer to read adventure stories that are a little bit funny as well. 2. Another thing the survey showed was that more kids across the school would prefer to read stories that include fantasy like Harry Potter or Twilight. 3. 64% of students like to read books that are in first person rather than books that are in third person. 4. Our survey showed that kids prefer to read stories when the main characters are good friends and work well together. 5. The results also show that 61% of kids around the school like having the main character to be human rather than animal or mystical. 6. The results clearly show that preteens would rather read stories in present tense than in past or future tense. 7. Its shows through the survey that more kids would rather have a story based in a city or country rather than space or school. 8. Surveying the kids have shown us that they would rather read books that are funny and make you excited than reading a book that makes you scared. 9. When we surveyed kids, they told us through their answer that more kids in there age do and will judge a book by its cover. 10. Through the survey, many kids have shown us that they like books that are different to Twilight or Percy Jackson. 11. Most kids around intermediate age like to read books that have another problem unravel at the end of the book. 12. Coming from the results from the survey, you can see that more kids at intermediate like having an element of truth in a story.
 * Conclusion:**

I think that the story is going to be about to friends that live in the city, go to school and do everything that to normal friends would do. Until they find out that both of their parents go missing and they have to go on an adventure to try and find them and along the way they make some new friends and face some perilous obstacles to get to their parents and they have to rely on one another and defeat the evil master that kidnapped their parents. End the end they get their parents back and its all a happy ending until they realize a new problem and have to go on another journey. The story will be based in a city and the country and will be a humorous but will be adventuress and exciting.
