This document discusses how reading can be used as a springboard for 21st century literacy skills. It was written by Kristi Nourie and Lauren Debaun of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, Kansas. The authors suggest several interactive activities teachers can use to get students to more deeply engage with texts, such as having students create timelines, work with primary sources, curate information from online sources, and make interactive posters. These activities encourage collaboration and help develop important digital literacy abilities.
