Abstract: The electronic text program described in this lesson plan guides students to compare and contrast the characteristics of electronic text with the characteristics of traditionally printed text, gaining a deeper understanding of how to navigate and comprehend information found on the Internet. During a 30 minute and a 45 minutes lesson, students will: navigate a website using electronic features including graphics, digitized speech, and video; demonstrate their understanding of how reading text on the Internet differs from reading a traditionally printed textbook; and consider how they could integrate electronic textual aids into their own writing to support meaning. The instructional plan, a list of resources, student assessment/reflection activities, and a list of National Council of Teachers of English/International Reading Association (NCTE/IRA) Standards addressed in the lesson are included. An Internet workshop form is attached. (PM)
