Annotations



When I read things I tend to assess them based on what the message of the piece is. If the message is a call to action, I look to highlight what and why they have decided to have that call to actions. If the piece is describing how to do something I pick out the details that are given. If the piece takes a stance against or for something, I tend to try to assess what my stance is first and what I know about the topic and then highlight where I agree and disagree with them. I also try to figure out what their level or knowledge on the subject is compared to mine. Sometimes, if the piece is meant to educate me on a topic I’ll also step back as I try to figure out what I know about the topic first and as I’m reading see where My knowledge is the same, or maybe differs or could be wrong in certain areas of the subject. I look for evidence and fact to back of certain points of view.





What I learned about annotations after today is that it’s a great idea to organize your annotations using color coding or symbols to quickly retrieve information about specific things discussed within the reading. In the first and second order thinking piece I thought it was good to color code information about each of those so I could go back and immediately find the information I was seeking on the topic and wouldn’t confuse it with information on the other

Final Project Part 1

Campaign Speech This is just some insight on who I wanted Dan Smith to be. I wanted him to be a politician who’s politics weren’t actually that good, that way I could create a scandal which kind of goes against exactly what he stands for. Obviously I would never vote for a person with these ideas but I think it would be interesting to step into the shoes of his campaign manager trying to diffuse that fire and defend him. This is also his introductory speech and first of the campaign. ____________________________________________________________________________ Address audience* My name is Dan Smith and I’m running for State representative in Pennsylvania. I chose to do this because as a native philadelphian I looked at what was happening around my home and I decided something needed to be done. I am running to enact change within the city to give our children better education, to bring back our values, and to fix a system that hasn’t been working for a long time. The p...
