College-Prep Note-taking Research
and Practice
Ø Paragraph #1:
What is one skill you’ve learned or improved significantly on since
October? Explain how and why, giving
details from your work in class to SHOW you proving your point.
Ø Paragraph #2: What
is a second skill…? Explain how and why.
Ø Paragraph #3: What
was your favorite topic or reading?
Explain how and why.
Ø Paragraph #4: What is one
weakness you know you will need to be prepared to work on the rest of this
school year, or next semester when you’re a freshman in college.
Ø Paragraph #5: Iowa
Core--Select ONE of the CORE skills below, and write one to two paragraphs
SHOWING HOW you have proven your mastery and learning of this task. Sound as though you’re trying to convince the
college admissions office during an interview.
· The five skills below
are pulled from Iowa CORE, and they guide teachers as to what twelth-graders
across the United States should be able to do in order to be prepared for
college and career.
· These are skills I’ve
tried to teach you in CPR.
· These are skills that,
in large part, rely on your thoughtful annotations.
· So, this is your last
reading class in high school. Have you
mastered the following?
1.
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what
the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including
determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.
2.
Employ the full range of research-based comprehension strategies,
including making connections, determining importance, questioning, visualizing,
making inferences, summarizing, and monitoring for comprehension.
3.
Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text,
including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of specific
word choices on meaning and tone, including words with multiple meanings or
language that is particularly fresh, engaging, or beautiful. (Include
Shakespeare as well as other authors.)
4.
Analyze a case in which grasping a point of view requires distinguishing
what is directly stated in a text from what is really meant (e.g., satire,
sarcasm, irony, or understatement).
5.
Demonstrate knowledge of eighteenth-, nineteenth- and
early-twentieth-century foundational works of American literature, including
how two or more texts from the same period treat similar themes or topics.

Find a nice, safe spot for
your portfolio (if you have not already done so)—either at a desk or table--and
set it up.
6.
Lay your Portfolio Comment
sheet next to it.
Here are the three things we’re doing today:
1. View portfolios, and say two nice things
about each.
2. Show your classmates respect by spending
two or three minutes with their portfolios—not forty seconds!
3. With Megan in the library: save four Earthbook
submissions in the folder.
