Readers observe and infer meaningful details as they read a text for the first time. They stop and annotate (underline, write in margins or post-its) as they read. What to annotate:
- Surprising, complex, or memorable details about characters, main and minor; strong feelings, minor and major problems, dialogue that reveals something significant about characters
- Setting – time period, place, historical details
- Important and unclear/difficult words and phrases
- Issues and themes – what do you notice about the society? What problems exist (poverty, crime, discrimination...)? Themes are universal truths or ideas/messages.
