My ninth graders would benefit by having a class set of five colored highlighters. Highlighting is an important tool my students can use to help them understand and analyze the material they read. By having five colored highlighters, my students will be able to interact with their reading, highlighting main ideas in one color, new vocabulary words in another. They will also use the highlighters for writing and revising drafts. Color coding their assertions, evidence, and analysis will help my students determine whether their arguments are fully developed. These strategies will strengthen my students' close reading and writing skills, which will prepare them for the rigors of college.
