PREPARATION
- Gather books from a variety of genres and topics, booklists, and any available artifacts promoting books. The booklists at Teens: Books and More from the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and Teen Read Week provide a good starting point.
- If students have completed book reports that can be shared, gather these resources as well, for students to use as suggestions for future reading.
- Make copies or an overhead transparency of the Reading Plan Chart.
- If desired, complete the ReadWriteThink lesson Developing a Definition of Reading through Investigation in Middle School to broaden the range of materials students’ can choose for their reading plans.
- Test the Graphic Map on your computers to familiarize yourself with the tools and ensure that you have the Flash plug-in installed. You can download the plug-in from the technical support page.
