Annotation

Novels vs. Performance Task

When students are starting…. They need focused annotation A guide of what to look for

Look for this idea… Focus on the idea of art and literature versus math and science. Think about… Does the author (creator/artist/speaker) believe that art/literature or math/science is more important for education? Does the author take a side? What evidence does he/she present?

After they have looked at source… They need to go beyond just highlighting with a focus

Sentence Frames Sentence frames are a great way to see if students get what they are reading. In fact, I make them write for every text/source in the packet Especially useful with images, art or videos…anything where there is not a lot to highlight.

After Reading Write a one sentence statement above the source using this frame: In (title of source) the author shows that (arts/literature or math/science) should play a significant role in education because (one reason the author provides).
