Over the years, I have been introduced to a mix of musical genres; therefore, I can’t say I have a “favorite type” of music. When I was in elementary school, my brother listened to classic and southern rock, and my sister was a interested in The Doors and The Rolling Stones. To this day, I can sing along to almost any Doors or Stones song, and I’ve seen the Stones twice in concert. I started forming my own musical interests in junior high, and I became a fan of Sting and The Police when they released their Synchronicity album. By my high school years, we were well into the 80s. While some may think I was a cheerleader listening to pop, I actually hung out with the “alternative” crowd, listening to New Wave artists like Echo and the Bunnymen and Berlin as well as some Hardcore bands like Minor Threat, 7 Seconds, and Corrosion of Conformity. By the time I was in college, my interests changed again because I dated men who introduced me to Little Feat and the Allman Brothers, as well as one who listened to KRCC all day and shared Los Lobos and the Subdudes. Looking back, I feel fortunate that I have had so much exposure to music because I am never at a loss to listen.

Standard(s) 3.2. Reading for All Purposes: engage in nonfiction texts to complete a taskObjective: You will be able to practice annotation skills and identify, exemplify, and explain the title/author, purpose, audience, main idea, supporting details, and author’s craft.Relevance: knowing how to actively read will help you engage in any texts you have to or chose to read and will improve your writing (and other forms of communication)Essential Question(s): How do I know what the type and purpose of a text is?

Activities: Develop & ApplyI Do - We Do – You Do Friday

Purpose: to understand what active reading is and practice it!Task: read through the article “…Active Reading…” practicing annotationsOutcome: an annotated article including ARG notes in your composition bookI DO – Paragraphs 1-2• Pre-reading

• noted page 1 by circling it and drawing an arrow to word “Introduction” in title• heavy underlined word “Students” in title• Numbered paragraphs in first section

• Reading• Underlined “Writing for college” in paragraph 2 and “little like being an alien” &

drew an arrow to first paragraph; wrote the words “anecdote-like” and “analogy” in the margin

• Circled word “you” in 2nd sentence & wrote “2nd person POV” in margin• Underlined “The solution to this problem is to learn to read actively, marking up

what you read…become a better writer.”• We Do – Active Reading, paragraphs 3 – 6• You Do – Ways to Read Actively

Instruction: Obtain I Do – We Do Friday

Step 2: Taking Notes in My Composition NotebookTitle/Author/Publication: The author is unknown, but I am inferring it is a college professor because it is written in a book (page 1, introduction) directed towards students of college writing and reading. This will help me prepare for college while I am still in high school.Purpose: The purpose is to inform the student about active reading skill in order to become a better writer. The 2nd paragraph let’s me know that the author is trying to help the student solve the problems that new college writing students have. Audience: The primary audience is a college student, but anyone who wants to read and writer better would probably benefit. I am younger than the intended audience but I do plan to go to college and have to write well for and Honors class that prepares me for college. I would guess that the audience is not intended for anyone much younger than myself. College students are probably motivated to do well in college because it will help them find a career and they are paying for the classes, and this text should help them do well in any class with reading and writing.
