Part 1

Thinking about learning designs:

Review sites for opportunities for engaged reading using 4 point frame

Ask how the sites build dedication toward reading

Ask how the learning designs also build CLOSE reading skills - selected passages?

Guidance for learning designs:

What should be on a site?

How should students engage with the site?

What should it look like?

How should it behave?

How will it promote reading dedication?

What about direct teaching?
