Interactivesample1

This document provides guidance on how to take interactive notes while reading informational or literary texts. It outlines a three-part process for reading: before, during, and after. The before stage involves preparing questions and predictions. The during stage has the reader asking questions, making comments and connections. The after stage prompts summarizing and synthesizing the information by reflecting on important ideas, themes, and what was learned. Sample notes from students are provided as examples. The document concludes by asking readers to identify three important events from their reading and explain their significance to the story.

Sample Two (Danny M.) • How did he get his face ripped off? Sample One (Robert V) • I wonder why Curley tried to lick Lennie. I was pretty happy when Lennie broke his hand. This will keep Curley from messing with Lennie anymore. So now George and Lennie can make their stake. Sample Two (Danny M.) • As I read I keep wanting to ask, “How can someone live like that?” What I mean is how can someone still want to live without a face? Sample One (Robert V) • I still don’t understand why Curley has a problem with big guys. I think it was good that Curley got his hand broken; now maybe he won’t be such a punk. I think George should teach Lennie how to fight. Sample Two (Danny M.) • What interested me the most is that even though he got his face blown off he doesn’t care. • I think what comes next is that he can’t take it anymore so he will shoot Larry LaSalle. Directions: Identify three of the most important events in the section you read today. Explain why they are important to the story. (Today’s example by Jackie Ardon) 1. They are all sad because they can’t be with their family and friends. This is important be cause it will cause problems for them on board the ship, 2. They saw a boat sink. Being on the ship is a new reality for them. 3. They entered the most dangerous straight which can cause them problems.
