3rd Synthesis Article; Guided Annotation

Today, I collected Freshmen Thesis Statements about "The Sniper". That was the first article of business.

Then there were 2 Announcements. Students were allowed to record these 2 details in their phones:

1)

Link to the Online Payment Portal!

I know it says Mrs. Marable. That's the correct page!

Mrs. Syes and I just sent out an eVrits Email with all this information, and even more, yesterday after school.

2) 

I'll be selling tickets ($5) Hope to see you there!!

Today's English lesson featured a new article to read (3 pgs), as well as in-class modelling of annotations and critical reading.

• Link to Today's Article

What did the annotations look like in class? Well, here are the ones we did together. The students' task in class today was to read along, record the annotations that I modeled, and contribute additional marks of their own in certain places.

In-Class Annotations:

Student annotations from class should be AT LEAST this detailed, if not more so.

HW:

• Finish reading and annotating the article, and put details in the 2 Brainstorm Boxes on the last page.
