4th HONORS American Lit./Comp.

HW DUE WED. 3/25: 

Using the NYTimes Upfront news article given to you MONDAY 3/23 in class and worked on/started reading and ANNOTATING TODAY Tues. 3/24 in class (*and linked as a pdf on the Classroom post!):

1) FIRST, RE-read/FINISH READING the article "China's Cram Schools" pp. 12-15 (WRITING section of your binder)

2) NEXT, AS JOURNAL #10, FINISH and CAREFULLY go back over the TEXT/ARTICLE ANNOTATIONS you made in class today as we read 

--We read and ANNOTATED AT LEAST 30-40% of this ARTICLE TOGETHER IN CLASS Tues. 3/24; BEFORE CLASS WED. 3/25, LOOK OVER/FINISH YOUR ANNOTATIONS and ASK YOURSELF the following:

• 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??

**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 Tuesday!

********************

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

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

**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):
