Step 6: Implement and Evaluate
The last step is implementation and evaluation. As you implement the project, consider classroom management. In other words, who, will be doing what, when?
Think about developing small group reading teams that would work together on projects. This will make the best use of your limited technology resources. Then, ask groups to share their book and project with other class members.
