March 18

Today, we responded to one of two quotes about active reading for writing into the day.  Then, we talked about the uncoming assignment, Annotated Bibliography, and the schedule for the next few weeks.

After that, we used two active reading strategies (Annotating - Marking up the Text and Dialogic Journal).  We discussed and practice these stategies with the two articles we brought to class.

Homework:

• Pick the strategy that you like best of the two.  Complete this strategy on two articles you know you will be using for your Annotated Bibliography.  On your blog, post pictures, scan or a typed version of your active reading strategy for the first four pages of your source.  If your source is not four pages long, complete the strategy for the whole sources and post that.  (Example, if you are using a newspaper article, use the Annotating or Dialogic Journal on the whole article and post that.)
• Bring two articles to class on Wednesday.  You need to be sure that you will use these articles for your inquiry project.  Come to class having read and fully understood them.
