Reviewthelearningtargetrelevanttotheworktobecompletedinthissectionofthelesson: “I can select a research reading text that I want to read.”
Launch independent reading. There is a suggested independent reading launch in the Independent Reading Sample Plans. Urge students to choose a text before the end of the lesson.
At the end of 5 minutes, distribute independent reading journals.
Tell students they will use this journal to log their independent reading, both choice and
research reading, and to answer reading prompts.
Display the independent reading pages of the Unit 1 Homework Resources (for families), and focus students on the information they need to record using the example on the same page.
Model how to log independent reading without the prompt. Explain that they will log their research reading in the front of the book and choice reading in the back. Ensure that students understand the di erence between independent research reading (topical texts) and choice reading (any texts they want to read).
