Have students place mini sticky notes with each annotation mark listed below on their book to show their thinking or questions they may have as they read.

Suggested annotations:

  • LOL (means this is a funny part.)
  • * ( means this is important.)
  • ! (means this is surprising.)
  • <3 (means that the reader liked this part.)
  • ? (means that they have a question or that this is confusing.)
