Opinion Poll
Student Survey
We wanted to survey the 4th and 5th graders at our school to learn who were their favorite authors from our list of ten. We surveyed seven classes with about 25 students in each class, for a total of about 175 students. They indicated their favorite book by each author and the one favorite author from the list of ten.
