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

Students closely read selected excerpts from Fish in a Tree and annotate for plot shifts, theme clues, tone, descriptive details, and point of view. The teacher models a short think-aloud, then students use annotation codes and margin notes to mark craft moves that make a turning point matter to readers. They finish with a written summary in their own words.
