Sociogram Analysis Assignment

Sociogram Analysis: Miss Cummings’ Third Grade Class The sociogram created for my class includes 21 total numbers to represent 21 total students. Based on the sociogram, the classroom leader is a male student who is classified as Gifted, which means he attends the gifted program with many other classmates. Six students stated number 20 as one of their top three people they would want to work with. Out of the six that chose him, he chose three of them.

I believe this happens because they are most often required to work together; therefore, they have made friends with each other and understand how they work in a group together. The graphic also shows that typically male students choose to work with other male students and female students choose to work with other female
