7th Grade--9/4

Today we discussed annotation strategies and looked at examples. The written annotation guide can be found here and the example powerpoint can be found here. Next, I distributed books for The Outsiders, and told students to annotate for the general annotation areas we discussed during class, as well as the differences/similarities between the Socs and the Greasers and immature/mature moments for the characters throughout the book, paying specific attention to when the characters go from childhood to a more adult perspective. Students began their assigned reading during class.
