Problem: For the 2022-2023 school year my Culture of Readers team is trying to solve the problem of 5th graders having misconceptions of certain genres and/or older books (they aren’t getting read or checked out). 

Target: Our target audience is for 5th graders around a group of 8-10 kids. We choose this group because this grade needs more help finding more/different genres to read or older books aren’t getting read. 

Data collection: To prove this problem exists we needed to collect data. To do this we created a survey and we chose to ask open ended questions such as what their favorite genre and a genre they dislike to see if they are only sticking with one certain genre. We also asked more specific questions such as have you read any of the books listed below (Multiple choice). The types of responses we think we might get are they won’t recognize any of the older books than 2016. We hope to fix our problem of 5th graders having misconceptions of certain genes and older books then help them find more genres and older books that will interest them.
