What educators are saying

I used this to introduce my students to annotation. It helped them understand the why for annotation as well as helping them visualize the process.
I really like the idea of teaching students generalized skills that will help them across all academic areas. This is a great resource, particularly for English and History.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kimberly C. says, "This was a great way to get my students to visualize the annotation process. Having them take notes and see the WHY behind annotation and then getting to practice it helped them to realize how helpful it can be!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jill D. says, "This is such a helpful resource! I've made a few things to explain things to students but finding this was a game changer- the slides, bookmark, practice... I made copies and posters as resources for our class binders, the classroom, and refer to it all the time."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maura L. says, "This was a great resource that I used in conjunction with my Social Studies curriculum. My students previously used the fiction annotation unit so they were familiar with the layout of this unit as well. We looked at some articles that supported the curriculum using the annotation guide. Students who showed a mastery of this skill early on were permitted to create their own guide to use as well."
