Students will be able read their copy of the Newbury Award winner, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, in class and independently at home to complete meaningful assignments and a final project. Many students cannot afford to buy their own copy of an assigned book, and the online alternative is not the best learning tool to engage students. A study in 2016 by researcher Naomi Barron, found "with more than 400 university students from five countries, 86% preferred reading longer texts in print and 78% when reading for pleasure, with 92% saying it was easiest to concentrate when reading print. 85% of the US students were more likely to multitask in an online environment and only 26% when reading print." (https://natlib.govt.nz/blog/posts/reading-on-screen-vs-reading-in-print-whats-the-difference-for-learning). Giving students the benefit of having a personal copy of Hatchet will allow them to connect with and think deeper about important topics within the pages. Lisa Alcott explains, "Print reading allows us to slow down and give time to sophisticated deep reading processes, letting us discern truth, apply critical analysis, gauge inference, develop empathy, appreciate beauty to reach the knowledge and wisdom necessary to sustain a good society" ((https://natlib.govt.nz/blog/posts/reading-on-screen-vs-reading-in-print-whats-the-difference-for-learning).
