Annotation Guide for Any Text w/ Google Slides Presentation + Three Practices
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
We know as teachers that close reading is an essential skill for analyzing any text. Students need to practice close reading so that it becomes a natural part of the analytical process.
But how can we “teach” these skills so that students understand the scope of annotating a text? It all begins with giving them annotation strategies and then modeling how those annotation strategies work.
In order to help students with this process, I have created a Google Slides presentation that takes students through the main annotation strategies and has them practice with sample passages from famous texts.
The activity contains eight annotation strategies in all and gives an answer key/ possible response for each one. You may opt to delete these from the presentation so that students cannot reference them until after they have tried to annotate the passages on their own.
Through this activity, students will see the different options they can use to annotate a text for meaning so that they can then apply these strategies to any text.
The Google Slides presentation is fully editable for your use and needs.
