At the end of their annotations, we have a "text-walk" of the music and discuss their findings as a class.]]> 2016-10-18 13:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131446215 https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131446397 Dancers find meaning in movement through choreography

In health, we annotate text and use the key words/concepts for creative dance activities.

They also mark reminders for performance (breath marks, pronunciation, watch conductor for tempo changes).]]> 2016-10-18 13:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131446678 https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131446858 In foreign language learning annotating is extremely important because it helps them break down the most important information and help them build their confidence. If students read a story in my class, I have them draw different scenes to help them visualize what is going on and encourages them to focus on the most important information rather than looking at the entire (seemingly overwhelming) text.

I model the skill and then we go through the instructions so they understand what they are going to do in each exercise. ]]> 2016-10-18 13:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131446912 https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131447065 When I have students observing their peers move or perform a specific movement I have them use cue words to describe the motion that is being observed.

We underline important pieces and circle vocabulary we don't remember, then write the definition in the margin.

The most helpful thing is to have one side of the text for notes and evidence and the other side for comments. thoughts, and connections.

We annotate text on a regular basis during class.

I like the idea of writing on the margins. Vocabulary is very important. Science is almost like a foreign language. ]]> 2016-10-18 15:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131503703 https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131503829 I like the idea of leaving large margins so that students have space on both sides of the text to write. On the left, students write facts and info from the text. On the right, students make connections to the text.]]> 2016-10-18 15:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131503829 https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131560729 I love Cornell Notes, but my favorite is allowing students to write on their texts. Obviously the text must be photocopied and with wide margins. I often give students a symbols list so they can mark information that is KEY to the main idea, or surprises them with new information, or flummoxes them with an unknown word. Annotation slows us down, but it enriches our comprehension. ]]> 2016-10-18 17:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131560729 https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131608744 In Science vocabulary  is huge. It is good if we can find ways for students to make relevant and personal connections to texts and terms. I would love a program where the students can highlight on their laptop screen and even save their results.]]> 2016-10-18 19:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131608744 https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131608932 In 6th grade science most of our text is online, so I'd like to find ways to annotate text online where students can keep those notes in their science notebooks.

We focus on the vocabulary included in the notes. We include lots of pictures and putting ideas into their own words.  Students draw pictures of concepts (wavelength, frequency, etc.).  We also translate words from science words (reflection) in to plain English (bouncing back) and then back in to science (reflection).]]> 2016-10-18 20:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher1/annotating/wish/131627583
