Independent Reading
For now, read.
As you read, think about how you might present the book to the class. Take notes on important scenes, characters, quotes--these notes will help you later when you make your presentation. As Rudine Sims Bishop (1990) has written, books provide opportunities for students to see their own experiences, the experiences of others, and the correlation between the two. Having choice and time for independent reading allows students to connect with characters and develop a new awareness of how others experience the world.

LOTF One-Pager
- A one-pager is a single-page response to your reading.
- A one-pager is a way of making a pattern of your unique understanding of a text.
- A one-pager is a way to be creative and experimental.
- A one-pager is a way to respond imaginatively and honestly. It is a way to be brief and compressed.
The purpose of a one-pager is to own what you are reading. We learn best when we can create our own patterns.
A one-pager connects the verbal and the visual; it connects the ideas in what you read to your thoughts, and it allows you to connect words, ideas, and images together.
.Use the worksheet provided (or use a single sheet on blank 8.5 x 11 paper).
