Today in class we quizzed our knowledge of close reading annotations using Kahoot.it! We established our turnitin.com class ID (12117641)and password (C1053R3ADING). We selected our texts for the Review of Form assignment. We practiced some close reading annotation skills (using the style guide questions on pages 16 to 17) on a short essay called "Tabulae Asia", and reflected upon how annotating a text can help us to develop our original perspective on a text and to develop a thesis statement. Specific annotation skills included: writing visual notes;identifying and explaining rhetorical devices, exploring interesting diction, syntax, and tone; and making connections.
