Objective:  I can annotate the Scholastic AOW by reading the text to write answers to the questions of categories, make inter-textual connections, and solve roadblocks to connect with important ideas.

BW:  On p. 2 of the Scholastic AOW, invert the subtitle into a question.  Write down the golden line in your notebook that answers this question.  Solve the roadblock “myriad.”  Write down a comment in your notebook that makes an inter-textual connection.

Activities:

1.  Share Out:  What was your golden line?  What strategy did you use for “myriad”?  What comment connects this roadblock with an important idea?
2. Independent Study:  Complete annotating the Scholastic AOW.
3. Independent Study:  Complete your final draft of the “I Am” Poem.
4. Presentations:  If time permits, some students can present their completed “I Am” poem.
5. Reminders:  Retakes for the annotation actvity are today after school only.
