- Learn about the role and importance of writing in the reading process
- Implement writing during reading through annotation and reflection
Today I modeled for everyone "during" reading strategies in the form of annotation (see the notes posted as an attachment under today's date on my website). This was in preparation for everyone to complete their first Article of the Week assignment. Every week or two, students will be sent home with an article to read and respond to. The purpose of this is so that students can build critical reading skills and become familiar with current world issues so as to make it easier to see connections in the literature we will be reading. At the end of class, I assigned this week's article, a link of which can be found under today's date on the website. This is due Friday for A day, Tuesday for B day.
