Margin Work/Sticky Notes-General

I use marks to identify interesting features of the text and to note the relation of features to eachother
Does NOT Meet

I used some of the annotation checklist, but my entries are bunched or reflect little variety.
PARTIALLY Meets

I use most of the annotation checklist, but my entries are bunched, and/or reflect little variety.
MEETS

I complete the annotation checklist. My entries are spaced evenly throughout the text, and entries toward the end start to focus on the big picture, pulling all entries together.
EXCEEDS

Each annotation not only comments on the importance of the word or passage, but it goes beyond the passage to show interaction with the entire text.
Margin Work/Sticky Notes-Vocab

My comments accomplish the following purposes: Defining unfamiliar words
Paraphrasing a particularly challenging phrase or sentence
Identifying the connotative meaning of a word
Does NOT Meet

I circle a few words,and I may even define them, but the definitions don't seem to have helped me to understand the phrase or text.
PARTIALLY Meets

I choose several words and define them, but I do not seem to be able to connect the meaning to the text.
MEETS

I actively choose words that jump out to me. If I don't know them, I define them; if I know them, but am confused as to how they are used in this sentence, I use the context to help me put the text into my own words.
EXCEEDS

I understand that the author chooses specific words with multiple layers of meaning and I can demonstrate how those meanings add depth to the text.
Margin Work/Sticky Notes-Strategies

My comments accomplish the following purposes:
Identifying literary devices
Asking questions
Retelling
Recording delight/ confusion
Visualizing
Predicting
Evaluating/Personal Connection
Inferring
Does NOT Meet

My comments show that I attempted only a few of the reading comprehension strategies. I don't retell the main events of the text.
PARTIALLY Meets

My comments show that I attempted most of the strategies. I partially retell the main events of the text.
MEETS

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

My comments show mastery of each of the reading strategies.
Margin Work/Sticky Notes-Patterns

Patterns of similarity, and contrast are marked.

My comments show that i am just beginning to identify important ideas, themes or images in this text and/or I only begin to note repetition in sound or meter (poetry).
MEETS

I note recurring images, examples, ways of characterizing people, events or issues.
(Poetry: sounds, meter, etc.)
EXCEEDS

I note recurring images, examples, ways of characterizing people, events or issues. I also note when the author diverges from these patterns.
End Commentary

I identify and comment on two specific annotations. I explain how they clarified my overall understanding of the text.

My end commentary reflects my personal views of the text but does not clarify how the annotations clarified my overall understanding of the text.
