 * Description of Lesson: ** This class will be held in the computer lab. I will start by telling students that we are going to be doing a research project. I will explain to them that they have 2 options for the project and it will become a book review that the students will present in class. I will show them my tumblr website that will have the layout of their research project. After I have gone over the directions for the project I will allow students the remaining portion of class (on the computers) to start working on their research projects.I have also made a video including 15 books that the kids can choose from.
 * Assignment: ** Students will find the description of this research project on my tumblr website (link below). They will choose to research an author or book and make a creative book review from what they choose. They will need to research the author or book and include 3 or 4 facts about the author or book that have to do with reading, and 1 other random fact. The students will then relate each of these facts about their author or book to what we have learned about reading in class thus far.
 * Technology Used/How it Will Change Leaning Environment: ** Presentation (research a author or book). Learning to write a book review in a new, creative way will show kids that book reviews are not just written on paper, they can be made in fun, exciting ways. I have also used a story creating tool to show of 15 possible books to choose from.
