Annotating a text What does it mean to annotate a text? Who already annotates? Do you use any common techniques or symbols?

Dress Code We will be reading about a common social issue in today’s society. School dress code is a common topic of discussion. As we read I would like for you to think about the main points or argument the author is trying to make. As we read together I will be underlining anything that I find interesting, thought provoking, or important. When we finish reading I would like for you to write down one or two sentences that identifies the main argument in the text.

On your own When we finish reading I would like for you to write down one or two sentences that identifies the main argument in the text. Discuss with the people in your group what you all believe the main argument to be. We will discuss as a class and write it on the board. Go back through your reading and use the following symbols to find evidence that does or does not support the main argument . Use a symbol for any evidence that supports your argument. Use a symbol for any evidence that does NOT support your argument.
