Reading 1
I can use the reading signposts and anchor questions to identify how a fiction or poetry author is using a literary tool.
Artifact 1: Eleven annotations
Artifact 2: Angels in the Snow annotations
Artifact 1: Eleven annotations
Artifact 2: Angels in the Snow annotations
The Eleven annotations were the first signpost annotations we had this year. I only managed to annotate three things in the whole story. I found a signpost, but didn't extend on it at all (as you can see). When I got that story and was told to annotate it, I didn't really understand what I was supposed to do. I was not very good at extending on a signpost I found, or analyzing. When you look at the Angels in the Snow annotation, I talk about concepts and really analyze Shy's character. I pull in examples from the text and show that I really understand Shy and why he is who he is.
