Hi Everyone,
So, we have all seen and tried Text Coding as well as Annotating text. Text Coding is using symbols in a piece of text you are reading in order to make it easier to review that text later. Text Coding organizes our thoughts in a specific way that makes sense to us. Annotating text is simply interacting with text and writing notes along the way IN THE TEXT. You have all done this. Now is the time to step it up a bit.
Conceptual Annotation brings these two nonfiction reading strategies together. It makes meaning out of text which, in turn, allows us to use text in our WRITING, OUR PROJECTS, and CONVERSATIONS in class. So here we go...
These are the concepts we all know and love:
TE = Through Their Eyes
TP = Turning Points
CE = Cause & Effect
CC/CH = Change & Continuity
UP = Using the Past
These will be the concepts that we will use to mark up our texts as well. Let's roll up our sleeves and get to it.
