Strategy Practice:  Annotating

Read and annotate the article “Hard Hit.
  1. Do you remember how we stopped and wrote an annotation for each paragraph when we read the foot-binding article?  Flip to that article in your binder now.
  2. Now get out your Strategy Practice sheet--I want you to use that today as you read.
  3. Read “Hard Hit.”  During your reading, or at the end of each paragraph, I want you to STOP and make an annotation using one of your strategies from the sheet.  
  4. If you do question, write “Question:  Then write your question.”
  5. If you do comment, wirte “Comment:  Then write your comment.”
  6. You must do one annotation per paragraph.

Before You Read
  • Read the ten questions you will have to answer at the end, so you know what you’re looking for.
  • When you find the answers in the text as you’re reading, highlight them, so you can go back and find them later.

After You Read
  • Answer the ten questions at the end of the packet.
  • Put your name on the front of the packet, and drop this in the drawer.

Vocabulary Review
  • Please go to quizlet, and study the words until I stop you.
  • If you feel you know all the words, do the ACT word review instead.

Questions
  • Is the ACT list too big?  If it’s too big to study effectively, I can break it up into four chunks.
  • Also, do you know how to star a word, so you can practice only the starred ones?


Organization
  • Paper pass-back and folder organization
