Write Something is an annotation strategy I use that is based on Kylene Beers' "Say Something" strategy outlined in her book When Kids Can't Read: What Teachers Can Do. It is best used in conjunction with my Composition Book system, which will also be available on this site. It requires students to annotate texts using their notebooks and forces them beyond summarizing into higher-order processes of predicting, questioning, clarifying, and making real-world connections.
