Reading Incentives
I am a little disappointed in the response that I am getting for the Reading Incentive for this quarter. The biggest complaint that I get from the students is about the annotating. I repeated a discussion that I had with a parent at conferences this week to my students. I was talking to a mom about an annotation grade that her child received. The look on her face told me that she didn't know what I meant by the word annotation. I showed her a book mark that I gave all of the students with annotation marks on it. Her eyes got big and she told me she was impressed. I said that I was too. If I had a tool like annotating when I was in college, it would have made comprehending certain reading material much easier. She agreed with me. I told the students that I wasn't making them annotate to be mean, I am doing it to help them comprehend. I pointed out that they should also be doing it as they read- not going back to do it later.
