"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" SOAPSTone Analysis and Reading Questions
I can remember reading "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." Jonathan Edwards' sermon is certainly a memorable piece of American rhetoric. While this is a common text for American literature classes, the language is dense and challenging. To help students navigate this tricky text, I have selected an excerpt from the text and paired it with 25 side-by-side questions. The questions cover a variety of skills and topics, including figurative language, comprehension, allusion, inferences, author's

Free Scaffolded Reading & Research Notes: Help Students Independently Annotate!
One of my year-long goals is for my students to reach a place where they can independently take and make meaningful notes and annotations while they read. Personally, I prefer to write in my books, but in the classroom, that's not always possible. With this in mind, I put together these 5 Square Notes sheets (kind of like graphic organizers) that walk students through annotation and/or note taking. Each sheet is set up in the 1-2-3-2-1 style, which is a pattern that's easy for students to rememb
