Lesson Plan
In this lesson, students will read aloud favorite books and record their readings of them. Note the suggestions below for turning this activity into a service-learning/community-service project with which to conclude the year
Students might record books for their teacher to use with younger students at the start of the next school year.
Elementary-grade students might record books that young children will like. They might give the books on tape to teachers in the younger grades or to the school librarian.
Older students might record books on tape for younger children. Or they might record books or magazine articles that are of interest to older people in the community who are visually impaired.
