“How to Mark a
Book”

as you read—that’s part of active reading.

do you SHOW you are thinking?
Annotations! I’ve made big
margins for you to WRITE IN. You’re
welcome! J

Take
a look at the annotation models I have for you, if you need to review.
4.
Let
those beginning annotation skills you learned in American Lit bubble up to the
surface—you will build on them today, and the rest of the term.
5.
Take
a look at the ways you can talk to the text.
Here is a copy for you! (“How to
Annotate (Talk to the Text). Pink

read the first three paragraphs aloud, and then we’ll share what annotations
we’re making.

Now,
continue reading and annotating on your own.
Get as far as you can in the time I give you in class. (9:35-9:55)

Your

When You Come In
1.
Please
initial next to your name on the clipboard.
2.
Please
pick up a green sheet—Portfolio Viewing.
Begin
with the End in Mind: Final Portfolio
What is it?
➢ It’s a collection of
your best and brightest work—ten original pieces, written by you this term.
What’s it worth?
➢ 15-20% of your
entire term grade.
Can I see some
examples?
➢ Sure! ☺ I’m going to show you a slideshow of past
projects.
Should I fill anything
out as I’m viewing?
➢ Thank you for
asking. The answer is “yes”! Here’s a Portfolio Viewing sheet for you!
Why are we doing this,
Willis?
➢ …so we can BEGIN
WITH THE END IN MIND!
➢ …so you start to get
an idea of what a Portfolio is.
➢ …so the seed is
planted in your brain today, and you can be thinking all term about this
project.
