2 B. Read the structions below before you beg your summer readg. 1. Why we re dog this This year the purpose of summer readg is to develop your critical readg skills. You will need these class, when you take the ACT/SAT/PSAT, when you enter college. Your ability to figure out not only WHAT is happeng a text, but also HOW it is written WHY it is written this way will develop your critical readg skills, which are crucial to your success as a student. We call this close readg of a text. In order to keep track of your ideas, sights, as you read closely, you will be annotatg the text. An annotation is a note of explanation or comment written the marg of a text expresses an idea or sight by the reader about what s/he is readg. In other words, the reader (YOU) enters to a conversation with the text -- makg comments, askg, notg areas of difficulty, for example. This may seem difficult at first, but like any skill, it takes practice -- you have all summer to practice it! If you have any, your ter! 10th grade Accelerated: 10th grade College Prep: irmgard.schopen-davis@deerfieldwdsor.com barbara.jack@deerfieldwdsor.com 11th grade AP Language Composition: debbie.allen@deerfieldwdsor.com 11th grade Accelerated College Prep American Literature: barbara.jack@deerfieldwdsor.com 12th grade Senior Semars: Jazz Age Literature: debbie.allen@deerfieldwdsor.com Mystery Horror Literature Film: irmgard.schopen-davis@deerfieldwdsor.com 12th grade AP Literature Composition: irmgard.schopen-davis@deerfieldwdsor.com 2. How to read closely annotate a text a. First, create your own system of annotation. Your first task will be to devise a system of annotation works for you. We are not prescribg a sgle system because readg is a very personal practice. We want you to be charge of the system you will be usg. We will ask you to cover certa, but the methods you use are entirely up to you. DO NOT GO TO GOOGLE TO FIND ANNOTATIONS. WE ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR IDEAS AND QUESTIONS. COPYING SOMEONE ELSE S ANNOTATIONS IS PLAGIARISM AND A VIOLATION OF THE HONOR CODE. AND YOU WON T LEARN ANYTHING. We suggest you buy a set of different colored highlighters, pens, post-its, /or tabs to annotate your text. Decide which colors items you re gog to use for vocabulary, character, settg, the other listed below.
3 Create a key to remd yourself what highlighter colors, tabs, post-its mean your system. Make your system as simple user-friendly as possible. b. Here are the you will need to annotate: Vocabulary: Use one color to highlight all unfamiliar words. Look them up write a brief defition the marg or on a post-it. Narrative Voice: determe what type of narrator is used (omniscient, 1st person, 3rd person); what perspective does this narrator provide? Is s/he reliable or unreliable? Where the text is this revealed? Tone irony: use highlighters tabs/post-its to dicate important details about the narrator s attitude to his/her subject matter 2 to his/her audience. Mark examples of irony (verbal, situational, /or dramatic) consider their effect. Plot: use tabs/post-its to mark the major stages of the plot. What type of conflict is developed? Here are the possibilities: conflict between dividuals; conflict between an dividual nature; conflict between an dividual him/herself; conflict between an dividual society; conflict between an dividual the Dive (god(s) of some kd). Form structure: use highlighters tabs/post-its to dicate important details about how the text is organized (to parts? volumes? chapters?). Look for places where structure changes the reason for the change. Settg: use highlighters tabs/post-its to dicate important details about settg (time place, creation of mood atmosphere, historical details). Characterization: use highlighters tabs/post-its to dicate important details about characters (what they look like, what they do, what they say, how they develop, what their function is the book). Diction: choose a highlighter color to dicate terestg word choices, repeated words, similes, metaphors, other figurative language you recognize. Themes/major ideas. What ideas does the book explore? What new understg about life humanity does the author want you to take away from this book? c. When you ve got your system place, you can beg readg annotatg: 1. Exame the followg see whether you can use them to predict anythg about what to expect from this book. Make notes on a post-it, or on the side cover of the book. the front back book cover the title any subtitles the table of contents (if the book has one). If not, look at how the book is divided -- to chapters, volumes, sections? Do they have headgs?
4 Is there a preface, foreword, or epigraph? What expectations do they create about the text? 2. As you read the text, annotate it usg the system you ve established. Also pay attention to the followg guideles: When you highlight, underle, or use a post-it to mark a particular section, write a comment the marg about it. Otherwise, you ll forget why it was important. Have a conversation with the text. Record your responses to it -- make connections to other texts you ve read (text-text); to aspects of your experience (text-self); to issues gog on the world (text-world). Ask -- put a question mark the marg next to sections confuse you. Note why you re confused. Comment on les /quotations you thk are especially significant, powerful, or meangful. Note down predictions of what you thk will happen. Mark important details about plot, characters, settg, narrative voice, diction, tone irony, form structure. Circle or put boxes, triangles, or clouds around words or phrases seem important to you. Use abbreviations or symbols brackets, stars (multiple stars for varyg degrees of importance), exclamation pots, question marks, numbers, etc. Connect words, phrases, ideas, circles, boxes, etc. with les or arrows. 3. After you have fished readg the book, write down what you consider to be the themes (or major ideas) of the book. You can write these side the back cover of the book, or on a Post-it placed at the end of the book. Write the themes as full sentences, contag a subject a predicate. That is, identify The book s pot of view on an important topic. For example, if your book is about Freedom, then tell us what specific perspective the book expresses: Freedom cannot be achieved without sacrifice. Freedom should be guaranteed to every human beg. Here is an example of what an annotated text looks like:
5 3. How your ter will evaluate your close readg annotations A. Readg Test: B. Oral Test: On the first day of school (Friday, August 10, 2018), you will take a readg test on the content of your summer readg book. It will be worth 100 pots.
