Score: ___/100
Instructions: For each section of the text, identify quotes that you deem to be significant in some capacity. Perhaps you have a question about a quote or a quote connects to you in some kind of way. Perhaps you feel as if a quote hints at something that will occur later in the text. Perhaps you feel as if a quote answers a question that you had earlier in the text. Perhaps the quote makes you think deeply about the text or perhaps the quote is worthy of considerable evaluation. As you read, record quotes in the Quotes column that fit into the aforementioned categories. In the Code column, record the appropriate code. In the Thoughts column, record notes on your thinking that led you to make the quote entry.
Codes:
(Q) Question- ask about something in the passage that is unclear.
(C) Connect- make a connection to your life, the world, or another text.
(P) Predict- anticipate what will occur based on what’s in the passage.
(CL) Clarify- answer earlier question or confirm/disaffirm a prediction.
(R) Reflect- think deeply about what the passage means in a broad sense—not just the characters in the story or the author. What conclusions can you draw about the world, about human nature, or just the way things work?
(E) Evaluate- make a judgment about what the author is trying to say.
