NCTE+3.6.3

**NCTE Standard 3.6.3**

//"Helps students compose and respond to film, video, graphic, photographic, audio, and multimedia texts and use current technology to enhance their own learning and reflection on their learning."//

In alignment to this standard, I have a lesson which will allow students to use current technology to expand upon a character from a novel or play we are reading. The lesson begins with students viewing blogs and deciding what makes a good blog. After students learn the elements of a good blog, students will be instructed to learn how to use a blogging website, then will ultimately create a blog written from the point of view of a character from the story we're reading. This allows students to not only become more media literate but also think critically about a character.
