Annotating Text-Lesson, Model, Application
*Teaching students to close read is one of the major components of the Common Core, and teaching students to do it correctly, is at times, a challenge.
*In this bundle, I tried to simplify the annotation process with clear-cut directions, modeling, and application for the students. The students will learn how to use common symbols to annotate. In addition, there are slides for teaching students how to “chunk” information.
Included in this bundle are the following:
1. Introduction to Annotating: I included my introduction ditto that explains what annotating is and the symbols that are used to annotate.
2. 11-Slide PowerPoint Presentation-This PowerPoint presentation goes side-by-side with the Introduction Sheet, as well as line-by-line animation in annotating a piece of text (ditto of text is included).

No Prep, 2-Minute Close Reading Tasks
TWO-MINUTE CLOSE READING TASKS-NO PREP
As most teachers know, there are always those two minutes of class (sometimes five minutes), where attendance is taken or homework is checked. Rather than just letting the students sit and idle, teachers like to fill this time with a short assignment that can engage their students for a short period of time, but also give an activity that will not take a whole lot of time.
Here are 30 2-Minute Close Reading Tasks, which range from the author’s purpose, literary devices, figurative language, central idea, and making inferences.
*The texts provided are excerpts from classic literature, fables, short stories, and songs.
*These are created on half sheets to take up minimal space in students’ notebooks, and they also can be glued into interactive notebooks.
*Each activity comes with two tasks, where students can answer the questions in the boxes provided and highlight the task if asked.
*One of the main purposes behind the Common Core is for students to support their thinking with text-based evidence. Each of these tasks asks the student to support their thinking with lines from the provided texts.
*Teachers can create anchor charts for the answers, use them in a group discussion, or use these as exit slips.

This Interactive Reading Bookmark is a tri-fold bookmark (front and back) that is applicable to any piece of literature. The bookmark contains annotation symbols and text-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world questions to ask themselves.
