The lesson began with students brainstorming about what important changes have taken place over the last 400 years in Virginia.   After brainstorming, students chose a topic such as transportation, fashion, technology, etc. and researched how it has changed over the last 400 years.  Students were then tasked to look at the first grade SOL’s to see what they were learning about past and present.   The students designed and created an original board game that they would introduce and play with students in another grade level to help them learn their topic of past and present.   Once this portion of the project was completed, students were then asked to think about a common thread amongst all the topics and what each inventor needed to possess.  The answer was they needed to all be literate.  With this, students were tasked to think of an idea on how they can spread the importance of literacy to our school community.   Students agreed upon having a literacy night for the community and planned a night with activities that would do just that.   Reading Glow Night was created. The HLP was demonstrated with Critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and Global Citizenship.   After a successful Reading Glow Night, students reflected their thoughts on a Google Form, and they found they each grew in these areas a great deal.
