  1. Critical Reading and Annotation UCI History Project Feb. 6, 2014

  2. “Talk to the Text” or T4 Require students to Use a Pen or a Pencil—no highlighters identify a reading purpose(s) from the Common core Reading standards for literacy in history/social science Make sure that you have annotated the text first

  3. Background Knowledge The little girl heard the ice cream man and ran upstairs to get her piggy bank.

  4. Step 1 1. Number the paragraphs. The Common Core asks students to be able to cite and refer to the test. One simple way to facilitate this is by numbering each paragraph, section, or stanza, depending on the source, in the left hand margin. When you refer to the text, you should state the number of paragraph you are referencing in order to make it easier for everyone else to find the spot.

  5. Step 2 2. Read through the text once without writing anything.

  6. Step 3 3. Chunk the text. When faced with a full page of text, reading can seem overwhelming. Breaking up the text into smaller sections (or chunks) makes the page much more manageable. Do this by drawing horizontal lines between paragraphs to divide the reading into smaller sections.

  7. Step 4 4. Underline and circle…with a purpose. In general, you should circle key terms and people, bracket key concepts, and underline important or main ideas. It is NOT necessary to underline sentences completely. Choose key parts of sentences to focus on.

  8. Step 5 5. Left Margin: What is the text SAYING?

  9. Step 6 6. Right margin—digging deeper: What do I need to think about to understand what the author is doing with this text and/or why it is relevant to the historical period we are studying?
