Why annotation happens on paper
Because the marks are the record of your thinking, and you will need them in a seminar with the book open and no time to search. Digital annotation is fine if the text is digital, but the habit is the same: Close Reading explains it, and the marks are where the passages you bring to The Seminar come from.
The book of your own
Twenty minutes of most Fridays is reading time with a book you chose. If you do not have one, the library and one conversation with me will fix it this week.
Curriculum connection
B1.1
read a variety of student- and teacher-selected texts from diverse cultures and historical periods, identifying specific purposes for reading (e.g., compare the diction and imagery used in a contemporary poem and a poem on the same theme from a different historical period; develop a character sketch based on a brief biography of a historical figure they admire to prepare for a short role-play presentation; use an electronic database to locate information from various sources about religious or cultural practices of an ethnic group different from their own)
