Class work
In class we shared our Scaries Movie interviews and then read Roal Dahl's short story The Landlady. As we read, students were required to annotate. Here is what they were required to look for:
Additionally, students can make annotations for any passages that remind them of something in their own life or other stories they may have read. Students should also write down any questions they have, and make a note of any passage that need clarifying.
It's important for students to WRITE DOWN THE PAGE NUMBER AND THE PARAGRAPH NUMBER FOR EACH ANNOTATION. For example. If you find a simile in the first paragraph of the story, copy down the simile on either a sticky note or a piece of paper and then write (171, 1). 171 stands for the page number and 1 stands for the paragraph. This way, students can always go write back to the story and easily find the passage. Students should bring their annotations to school on Wednesday.
