Students will learn about the guidelines and expectations for independent reading (IR) this year. They will discuss what they enjoyed and disliked about IR last year, as well as their hopes for this year. The teacher will explain that students will log their reading digitally once a week using Google Classroom. Students will then complete literacy and technology surveys independently to assess their reading interests and familiarity with technology. They will end with a 3-2-1 reflection exercise where they write down 3 things they now know about IR, 2 things they are excited for, and 1 remaining question. The lesson aims to help students understand and prepare for the digital logging component of IR this year using Google Forms and Classroom.
