TODAY’S LESSON:
MORE ON ANNOTATING
Let’s Practice It:
Silent reading with annotations
How Did We Do?
* In notebooks,
write covered topics in margin.
Assignment for tomorrow:
Make comments on your partners' blogs tonight.
I will grade the comments tomorrow morning.
When you comment on a classmate's draft, you should
write three careful sentences:
One specific compliment (something you like about the writing),
and two specific suggestions (how they could improve the writing)
Post the comments at the bottom of their blog
by clicking "comments" and then entering your comment in the box.
A good way to do it is to copy a sentence or part of a sentence,
paste it in the comment box, and then comment on it.When all is quiet, Teacher Assistant stands and says:
"Rise, push in chairs, and leave quietly with thanks."
