At first when I was given this article I just read it with annotating anything. I read it a couple
times she there was a lot of time left over. I think I read it about three times. Normally when I get an
article I annotate but this time I didnt.
After we were done reading we began to hear different students ideas about the article. Some
students annotated and some just read the article like I did. Hearing the connections they made to the
article some were similar to mine and some were different. Also we saw the different ways they read the
article and the strategies they used , and the different connections they made to the article. When
annotating usually I just underline the main idea and restate it in my own words. But several of my
classmates did other thing like underline the historical events that were in the article.
After we learned about the different reading strategies and hearing other students ideas about the
article we read the article again and this time while I was reading I was able to make the same
connections as they did the first time. We began to use a strategy called partner reading. I began to see the
different ideas they made and understand why they made those connections. I began to use the same
strategies like they used while I was reading.
Overall, partner reading was helpful since your able to hear the different points that your partner
made that maybe you wouldn't have made before. I've done assignment with a partner before, like in math
and I find it very helpful since maybe you dont understand something but your partner might understand
it, and you begin to help each other.
