Let's talk about texts, text sets that is......

Okay, so back in the spring we had to do this really cool project. It was called a text set project. It sounds kind of awkward even when you explain what it is, but here goes. Choose a theme. Choose a canonical text, young adult text, and a graphic text that relate to the theme. Create lesson plans that include the three required choices as well as a self-selected choice. All of the lessons need to be general enough that students can be reading any one of the texts when the lesson is presented. The lessons should allow for different responses based on the text being read at the time. Allow students freedom in selecting their free choice text. This can be another novel, a film, album, video game or other media as long as the theme is consistent.

Here is a great example with step by step directions to help create a text set.
