**ATTENTION 3rd HONORS AMLIT: IMPORTANT HW ASSIGNMENT COMPLETION DUE FRI. 3/10 FOR A GRADE!!!**

3rd Pre-AP American Lit./Comp.

HW DUE FRI. 3/10: 

Using the NYTimes Upfront news article 

"China's Cram Schools" pp. 12-15 (WRITING section of your binder) that we've just read/discussed/written about this past week:

• FIRST, tonight look CAREFULLY back over the TEXT/ARTICLE ANNOTATIONS you completed/started on in class today, Thursday 3/9, as we read/started annotating together

• THEN, before class time tomorrow, COMPLETE ANNOTATIONS for the rest of the article (in other words: FINISH ANNOTATING THE TEXT)

• ALSO! As you read/finish up this task FOR A GRADE, ASK YOURSELF:

• Have I used the ANNOTATION RESOURCE/GUIDE SHEETS Mrs. Krieger gave us today/went over w/SUGGESTIONS to get the MOST out of my completing this task/annotating?
• 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??
• **AND NOTE: Here's also a LINK to an annotated FICTION text to use as a 'guide' if you'd like (although your text is NONFICTION, the end-result is similar):
  IMAGE of an ANNOTATED FICTION TEXT 

**CONSIDERING THE QU'S ABOVE and whatever works best for you, MAKE SURE YOU have some substantial observations/ANNOTATIONS to bring to discussion to show me FRI. 3/10!

**THE KEY: GIVE YOUR BEST EFFORT. MAKE YOUR WORK COUNT. 

**THIS ANNOTATING TASK FOR THIS "China's Cram Schools" article IS FOR A GRADE.**
