  2. Icons • Brainstorm: • What are some icons that you see around you in your everyday life?

  3. Depth and Complexity • School Jargon (intelligent words) • What does the word DEPTH mean to you? • What does the word COMPLEXITY mean? • The D & C Icons will stand in for THINKING STRATEGIES. • Thinking Strategies: good readers are active readers.

  16. Using the Icons to ANNOTATE • Why is marking a book indispensable to reading it? • Active reading is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. • The person who says he knows what he thinks but cannot express it usually does not know what he thinks. • Writing your thoughts down helps you to better remember, and synthesize them. • When do we annotate? • Immediately! Right away! Always! • If you find annotating while you read to be annoying and awkward, do it after you read. You should be reading texts twice anyway, so this isn’t any less efficient than marking as you read and then rereading the material.
