1. Do Now: Please read “Nonviolence and Racial Justice” silently to yourself.

2. How many of you read this piece of work but did not understand or remember it?

3. Learning Goals: SWBAT read and understand a piece of text by writing annotations on a text.

4. So… What is annotation?

5. Annotation simply means to mark up a text that you are reading. You may be wondering how do we mark up a mark up and why dowe mark up a text. We’ll talk about that next.

6. Why do we annotate? * Annotation will help you remember important details, realize when you are confused, and more deeply understand what you are reading.

7. How do we annotate? •        * There are no straightforward, easy steps to annotating the way there might be for finding the area of a circle.  Annotation is a skill - like shooting a basketball.  Once you know the basic ideas, it takes time to learn how to do it usefully.

8. Why does my annotation look different than the person sitting next to me? • * There is no "right way" to annotate a passage; different readers will mark different things, what matters is that you mark things that help you to make sense of the text.

9. Again, how do we annotate?

10. How to Annotate… • To annotate a text you can highlight, underline, circle, write in the margins, draw a picture or symbol in the margins, or use post it notes.

11. Step 1: • Read first! Then write on your text first. • Read a paragraph or chunk the text into a section and then go back and re-read that text and make annotations.

12. Step 2: Begin marking up the text. • Marking up the text can happen in several different ways. • You can highlight important words or phrases. • Make sure to highlight anything special happening in the text – but don’t highlight everything or it will become very confusing.

13. Again, only highlight the most important parts or you will become confused.

14. In this class we are going to utilize MARS

15. M • Make connections from the text to prior knowledge.

16. A • Ask questions about text (i.e. terms, phrases, concepts)

17. R • React to the text by expressing your inner voice (i.e. opinions, feelings, predictions)

18. Titles : • If there is a title, predict what the passage is about and what you might already now about the text.

19. Still unsure of how to react… Something that… • Makes you mad • Surprises you • You disagree or agree with • You feel is incorrect/ wrong information • Is unusual or written in a catchy way • That is important for other people to know • That you would like to talk about

20. S • Summarize the text (concise explanation using your own words).

21. While there are many ways to annotate a text, the goal is the same… • TO BE AN ACTIVE READER and to THINK AT A HIGHER LEVEL ABOUT A TEXT.

22. Do you feel ready to answer the following questions in paragraph form? • Explain Martin Luther King’s belief that having faith in the future causes the “nonviolent resister to accept suffering without retaliation.” How does having “cosmic companionship” influence this belief? • How is nonviolence an active form of protest?

23. Write connections you make with the text. • You can make a text to self connection. • What does the text make you think about your own life? Text to text connection  What does the text remind you of in something else you have read or watched. Text to World  Does the text remind you of something going on in world, currents events, or a famous person or event? If so, write it.

24. Do you have a question about the text? • Write a “?” next to parts of the texts which you might have a question about. For instance you could ask: • What does this word mean? • Why does this happen? • I don’t understand this – I need help.

25. You could make a prediction… • Is part of the text giving me a clue about what might happen next? • Sample sentence starters for predictions: • I think that… • I wonder if…
