✨ The Complete Middle School Annotation System — From Guided Model to Independent Practice

The Annotation in Action: Oceans bundle gives you everything needed to teach annotation once and apply it to any nonfiction text your student reads for the rest of the year.

The blank template alone makes this bundle worth it — once the guided passage introduces the system, students can apply it to any text independently, again and again.
