Announcements and Reminders
  1. GET YOUR LIBRARY CARD!
  2. Annotation Clarification- Underlining is NOT annotation.  It is related, but not the same.  To ANNOTATE, you need to write substantive comments, either directly on the text or on a separate document.  These should…
    1. Make connections 
    2. Ask questions
    3. Summarize key ideas
    4. Define terms/concepts
    5. Most importantly- show your critical thinking about the text on the page

Starter 5:  Research Quote
Read the quote linked above.  As you read it, make mental notes of sentences or ideas that strike or surprise you.  When you are done reading, respond in writing to the following questions:
  1. What does this professor identify as the thing that hurts much non-fiction writing?  Do you agree or disagree with her assessment?
  2. What sentence in this piece most stood out to you?  Copy it, and explain why it strikes you, and what it makes you think.
  3. Are you guilty of the bad habit she discusses in the second to last paragraph?  If not, how do you avoid this?  If you are, how could you avoid this mindset in the next few months?

Done with the Survey?  Check out this Deep Reading Advice from past seniors!

BY THE END OF CLASS TODAY…
  1. Read and annotate the 2nd article (Done with the 2nd?  GREAT. Start on the 3rd)
  2. Create lexicon list, get words and definitions from your first two articles
  3. Create Bibliography, put in citations ​
