 * Grade Level: ** 2nd grade
 * Unit: ** Introduction to reading
 * Assignment Type: ** In class
 * Time Frame: ** 30 Minutes
 * Lesson Objectives (SWBAT): **
 * Description of Lesson: ** I plan to introduce students to the topics they will be learning in class. I plan on teaching the students that reading is crucial in everyday life and that it is very important. I will start the class by using the learning aid to get them in the mood to read. I will give them time to search the internet for their favorite books and authors and will allow them to print these to paste on their learning aid.
 * Assignment: ** I plan on giving students time to complete the learning aid and hope that it will lead into a discussion on why reading is important. I also hope to show that reading is fun and different people are interested in different things.
 * Adaptations: ** For those students that struggle with reading, this will be a good time for them to see that they can have fun reading to. It will not be about how fast or how much someone can read, it will be about the purpose of reading and learning that reading is fun. By focusing on the fun part of reading those students who struggle with it will hopefully find light to it instead of having a negative outlook on it.
 * Technology Used/How it Will Change Leaning Environment: ** Using the internet for research. Using the internet to allow students to research and print out their favorite authors and books will allow students to see that the internet can be used for many different purposes. It will also allow them to use the internet in the future if they have to research a topic.
