Is this the best way to mark up a textbook or novel? Studies have shown that highlighters hinder retention and comprehension. Simple highlighting encourages a passive reading style rather than an active one. Students do not engage critically with the text when annotating with a simple highlighter.

Autobiography- Lady Bird Johnson - JFK Assassination - Point of View - Tone Mood
I am a strong believer that all texts must have meaningful content. Student's today are so immersed in their technology that history fades into the past. They don't have any interest in seeking it out so as teachers, we need to ensure they read it anywhere and everywhere. That is where this memoir from Lady Bird Johnson's A White House Diary - Excerpt comes in. The colorful language and meaningful writing brings the day of John F. Kennedy's assassination to life from a new perspective. It is the

PLATO'S CAVE ALLEGORY | CRITICAL THINKING LECTURE
PLATO'S CAVE ALLEGORY | CRITICAL THINKING LECTURETHE ALLEGORY OF THE CAVEThe Cave Allegory is one of the most famous passages of philosophy, and I think all students should study it sometime during their education. It asks its readers to liberate themselves from the conventional bonds that chain them. There are many essays, articles, lecture series, etc. on this fundamental text; there are more nuanced and rigorous academic writings and talks available, but my intention is to provide a 90 minu
