Simplify annotations so students think on their own.
Teach students to think critically and form opinions with a simple, repeatable approach to annotating any text
Getting students to think about a text on their own can be a challenge — especially when annotation “rules” change every year and with every text.
When students are confused about the instructions, they aren’t going to feel confident reading or analyzing any text.
That's why I use a simple left/right annotation technique that can be adapted to any film, poem, short story, comic, etc., in any subject.
Introducing: Left/Right Annotations
In less than 10 minutes, you'll discover:
How left/right annotations work for any subject, grade level, or resource
Why it's got built-in differentiation that works for every student
How to implement it seamlessly in your classroom
Why it's better than traditional annotation methods
How left/right annotations can liven up lectures, documents, readings and more
Plus, you'll get a printable handout to help you explain left/right annotations to students.
Don't let students stay stuck.
Get them engaged and check comprehension with this simple technique they can re-use over and over again.
