Fall in Love with This Teacher’s Text-Marking Activity
Editor’s Note: Kim O’Bray’s colorful text marking activity is a key part of her close-reading process. Students engage deeply with the text by using colored pencils to mark everything from figurative language and unfamiliar vocabulary to central ideas and text structures.

It works wonderfully with any nonfiction text.
