Common Core's Common Genres

About

This was my 2016 Science Fair project. The project analyzes certain types of literature that students enjoy reading. More specifically, the project analyzes which genres and sub-genres students prefer, across two variables: age and gender. The project uses the Borda Count Method, a method developed by Jean Charles de Borda, to rank preferences of sub-genres. This project won the Grand Prize at the Worcester Regional Science Fair - 2016, as well as a 2nd prize at the Massachusetts State Science and Engineering Fair - 2016.
