Preview, Question, Predict

I turn headings, subheadings, and captions into questions. I scan the text, think, and connect questions to my background knowledge. I predict answers.
Needs Work

I did not write any questions next to headings, subheadings, or illustrations.
Satisfactory

I wrote questions next to some headings, subheadings, or illustrations, but I haven't been consistent. There's no evidence that I connected the key topics to my background knowledge.
Very Good!

My questions based on headings are spaced evenly throughout the text. Personal notes show that I'm making connections between the new material and what I already know.
Find Answers

I highlight & paraphrase key words & phrases that answer the questions I asked.
Needs Work

Nothing is highlighted or everything is highlighted.
Satisfactory

Answers to key questions pop out of the text.
Very Good!

Answers to key questions pop out of the text AND I've added comments to the answers.
TTT (Talking To Text)

My comments accomplish the following purposes:
Identifying literary devices
Asking questions
Retelling
Recording delight/ confusion
Visualizing
Predicting
Evaluating/Personal Connection
Inferring
Needs Work

My comments show that I attempted only a few of the reading comprehension strategies. I don't paraphrase the main ideas of the text.
Satisfactory

My comments show that I attempted most of the strategies. I partially paraphrase the main ideas from the text.
Very Good!

My comments accomplish each of the reading strategies. Near the end of the text, I use bullets to "retell" the main ideas of the text.
Noting Patterns

Patterns of similarity, contrast and anomalies are marked. I note
the following thought patterns: list/addition, time, illustration, definition, compare/contrast, cause/effect, and/or classification.
Needs Work

I have no comments describing the relationships among paragraphs and sections of the text.
Satisfactory

My comments show that I am just beginning to identify the structure of the reading passage.
Very Good!

My comments show that I've stepped back and considered how the author organizes ideas. I note recurring patterns and relationships among parts of the text.
Vocabulary

I identify new vocabulary words by highlighting or circling them in the text and then find synonyms/definitions of them in my native language and in English.
Needs Work

I have only highlighted/circled new vocabulary words.
Satisfactory

I have highlighted/circled new vocabulary words and translated them into Japanese only.
Very Good!

I have highlighted/circled new vocabulary words and noted their definition/synonyms in English. (Japanese translation may also have been done.)

Needs Work

I annotated 69% or less of the text. (I may have only used 2 or fewer of the annotation skills)
Satisfactory
