My FMP hasn't changed since my research project - which makes all of that research valuable and helpful. In the research, I looked at children's books and morals. I did my own primary research on whether morals were important to children and parents in the books. I did this through an interview, and questionnaire.
For my primary research I needed to see what kids like, and how they reacted to it. For this, I read a story to my sister and voice recorded the interview. Because of this, I selected some books - some with obvious morals (The Red Tree), and some without (The Tiger Who Came To Tea), and some with morals but that are subtle (The Twits).
I also conducted a survey for the parents, to see how comfortable they are with the books being read to her.
Through the parent’s survey, I found that they chose books to buy their child based on the size of letters, and the pictures. They also made some predictions about the books she’d like - thinking mostly of the fun story, or the big pictures. One parent thought she’d enjoy The Red Tree the most, and they both agreed she’d like The Twits the least.
They were right. (Mostly.)
I found that the most enjoyable book for my sister was The Red Tree (with obvious morals), and the least enjoyable was The Twits (with subtle morals). However, a point made by her a lot was about the artwork of the books. The Red Tree has huge, creative drawings whereas The Twits is more rough sketching.
She liked The Tiger Who Came To Tea (with no morals), but she didn’t say much about it, and nearly forgot about it.
