The following are Nathan's and Jesse's reading logs for the month of March to April. What the students have been doing is that they do not log the poetry reading; they log their independent fiction or nonfiction reading. Even though the reading logs do not display their poetry reading for the unit of study, they appear to me that both boys have increased their motivation and stamina in reading, whether at school or at home. I believe that in this poetry unit, the work that they have been doing really sets them up to become accountable and independent readers. Their purpose for reading was very clear to them; choosing poems they like, envisioning the images and illustrating them using visual arts. Both boys have increased their stamina and motivation in reading mainly because of the poetry work that they have been committed to, and this has led them to further prolong and endure their reading persistence when reading other types of texts.
