3rd HONORS American Lit./Comp.

HW DUE **WED. 10/26: 

Using the NYTimes Upfront news article  "China's Cram Schools" pp. 12-15 (WRITING section of your binder) that we went over/discussed annotating tips and strategies with yesterday/today in class, complete the following:

1) CAREFULLY go back over the TEXT/ARTICLE and ANNOTATE WHAT YOU'VE READ

2) --REMEMBER: you should've already read this article this past weekend; TAKE THIS TIME TO NOW COMPLETE YOUR FIRST ATTEMPT FOR THIS CLASS AT ANNOTATIONS for the "China's Cram Schools" article; ASK YOURSELF the following as you work:

• Are the HIGHLIGHTS I MADE DONE WITH MEANING and CLEAR what I'm showing, not just randomly-colored lines OR TOO MUCH HIGHLIGHTED?
• Did I use a pen/pencil and ASK QU's or DEFINE TERMS on/in the text
• DID I CITE KEY QUOTES/MAIN IDEAS via HIGHLIGHTS and LABELED, POST-ITS, and/or CIRCLED/STARRED and LABELED? 
• DID I tie the article's points to VISUALS/PICTURES/MAPS within the text
• Have I used comments and underlines/arrows/brackets/stars WITH MEANING/PURPOSE and NOT just randomly that mean nothing??

• CONSIDER THE QU'S ABOVE, THE NOTES SHEET I GAVE YOU ALL in your WRITING SECTION labeled "ANNOTATIONS: A USER'S GUIDE" 

• use an annotating method that works best for you; JUST MAKE SURE YOU have some substantial observations/ANNOTATIONS to bring to discussion to show me WED. 10/26--you have PLENTY OF TIME TO DO THIS ASSIGNMENT!
