**Brief Description:**  Students will reflect on their independent reading selections and demonstrate their understanding of the texts by creating a comic reading log.

**Know Before You Start:** This is an engaging way for students to keep a record of the books they read. Reading Log comics are a great way for students to share favorite books and recommend books to others.

**Hook:**

- Share the sample comic with the class. 
- Discuss how each student will use Pixton to keep track of their independent reading selections.  
- Discuss with students the components you would like for them to include for each book. You may want students to write a quick summary or provide a rating system.

**Activity:**

- Have students create a Reading Log comic and add a panel to the comic each time they finish reading a book.

**Closure:**

- Periodically have students share their Reading Logs with classmates and discuss the books they are most excited about.

**Differentiation:**

- Allow students to use the speech-to-text feature.
- Provide sentence frames as needed.
- Allow students to use the voiceover feature to read their comics aloud.

**Resources:**

- Comic to print or display: [Comic](https://share.pixton.com/qab4qde).
