Looking to enhance your student's reading comprehension?

Try out Interpretive Note-Taking/Annotation. This system of note-taking helps students engage with the text critically and encourages an active reading style, leading to a deeper understanding of the material. It involves prompts that guide students in their approaches, such as marking important words or summarizing key points.

CHATGPT AND AI ESSAY GENERATION IS THE NEW REALITY

Cheating has unfortunately become an ongoing issue in students’ education. With the development of essay generators like ChatGPT, it is too easy for students to acquire quick and plagiarized essays. Educators should be mindful of this issue when assigning essays, but what to do? There are plenty of alternative projects that foster students’ critical thinking skills effectively!

YOU WILL FIND MY ORIGINAL PRODUCT INCLUDED, MY NEW SHAKESPEARE PRODUCT, AND TWO NON-FICTION TEXTS. EXAMPLES FROM THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA AND THE REPUBLIC

The prompts are the same in Shakespeare and philosophy files. The student examples are different.

amazing examples, instructions for teachers and students

Using a yellow highlighter has become an annotation staple for high school students. 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. They are trying to absorb it all without really understanding it. So what is the alternative? A better way to annotate is to try my Interpretive Note-taking/Annotation, where a series of suggestions prompt students.
