Additional Announcements:
Annotations: For readings you are required to annotate. What does this mean? Underline important points, ask questions in margin, mark things you don’t understand, make observations. Have a conversation with the text. Then when we talk about it, you’ll have someplace to start. Periodically I will be looking at your annotations of articles. If you don’t annotate, you will miss a daily grade.
Tip: Read the assignment before the reading so you know what you’re reading for.
