RL6.2 - Determine how a theme is conveyed through details, and provide a summary of a text

Goal: I can read and annotate a text.

Reading Strategy - Annotating a Text

• While you read it is important to annotate. (Take Notes) This will allow you to better comprehend what you are reading
• As you take notes begin to think about the literary elements, especially figurative language.
• In the beginning of all stories good readers should pay attention to the characters, setting and basic situations.
• Think: Who are the characters, and what do I know about them?
• Think: Where and when does the story take place?
• Think: What is the basic situation? For example - Are you an astronaut flying through outer space? Are you a young boy who has been orphaned? Are you a spy trying catch a super villain. Are you a time traveling scientist trying to find your way back home? etc...

Have a great day!
