Content Expertise ELA.6.AOR.6 ELA.6.AOR.1 ELA.6.AOR.2 ELA.6.AOR.3 ELA.6.AOR.1.1 ELA.6.C.3 Submission Required

Using a short excerpt from Fish in a Tree, students practice annotating for plot movement, theme clues, tone, and descriptive details with color-coded sticky notes. The teacher models a brief think-aloud on summarizing and naming one craft move, then pairs identify additional examples and explain their effect. Students finish with a 4-sentence summary and one text-evidence note in their portfolio.
