4PA Update

This week, 4PA will be wrapping up their annotations for the story "Lenny's Red Letter Day".  Students are still new to the annotation process.  Therefore, I have taken some much needed time to model how to annotate the text and use the Depth and Complexity icons in conjunction with the written notes they make.  We are also working on stamina while annotating.  The goal is for students to be able to work independently during a prolonged period of time in order to complete this task.  I have been conferring with students to ensure that they are on the right track and have been very pleased with the thinking I have observed.  If students do not complete their annotations in class, it will be assigned for homework.  Students will also be completing a written response task that relates to the story.  Finally, each learner will be participating in training for our first Socratic Seminar.  I am looking forward to the upcoming week!
