Description
Class Experience
Students will be able to closely read difficult texts by annotating them for understanding. Students will be able to identify text features while annotating difficult text for understanding.
I have taught annotating and close reading my entire professional career. I am also trained in AVID reading strategies and am trained as an AP Language and Composition teacher. Annotations are strategies that are strongly supported by both programs as being one of the most important skills for students to have to be successful readers.
The Teacher will Provide: - Notes and Information on Annotating - Articles for Annotations - Helpful Documents and Hints The Students will Need To and Need to Have Available: - Print out the documents provided - One highlighter - Post-It notes (or something similar) - A pen or pencil *** Note that not all materials will be used. But they need to be available so that students can choose to use what works best for them.***
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
If your student is someone who needs a different text than the one provided (attached to the course), please let me know and why. This will help me choose text that is appropriate for your learner! This could be because the text is too easy or that there is another topic that they would like to read about etc. Just let me know so that we can personalize our learning!
