Social Network: Novel Analysis
Overview
In this module, students will create a social network graph for the characters in a novel. Using computational thinking, students will design and interpret the graph to identify key characters and their interactions in the story. Students will use graphs to discuss a novel. Students will write what the story would be like if one of the characters was removed. This module can be done with any novel or story the class is currently reading.
