Annotation Instructions Number your paragraphs. Underline the main idea in the article (you should have only ONE in the article) Circle at THREE unknown words in the article in Next, write the definition for each unknown word next to the word. Lastly, ANNOTATE: In other words, after every THREE paragraphs write a short, one or two sentence summary explaining the main idea of that paragraph in your own words or discussing/commenting that paragraph in more depth.

If You Are Absent on Friday 3/18 You are still required to complete the TYPED 50/50/3 Socratic seminar write-up You will also be required to find an article dealing with an actual case study of teen depression. Print the article, annotate it, and write a 50-word write-up sharing your thoughts, opinions and insights about the article. Ideally, you shouldn’t miss class – be here and contribute to an awesome Socratic seminar!

TIPS for Writing Interpretive Questions Make sure questions are: (1) Directly rooted in the all of the articles we read and the novel. (2) Promote discussion, as it pertains to the debate on teenage issues including depression, anxiety, etc. We want questions that do not have a clear answer. (3) Lead to bigger ideas outside of the articles and the novel. For example, “The thought of entering into adulthood depresses Holden, do teens today face the same fear? How can high schools help teens transition better into the adult world?” (4) Feel free to ask one open-ended question that you’d like to discuss as a group regarding Catcher in the Rye. This is your opportunity to discuss important themes in the novel that are on your mind.

Socratic Seminar: Things to Do! Make direct textual references Summarize others’ views AND expand on those views Ask thoughtful questions AND ask clarifying questions Be respectful AND exhibit leadership!

Socratic Seminar: Let’s Not: Interrupt or dominate the discussion Repeat another person’s point with no additional commentary Seek to entertain or appear prepared rather than participating authentically “Zone out” or get distracted or off topic
