2. Novels vs. Performance Task

3. When students are starting…. They need focused annotation A guide of what to look for

4. Look for this idea… Focus on the idea of art and literature versus math and science. Think about… Does the author (creator/artist/speaker) believe that art/literature or math/science is more important for education? Does the author take a side? What evidence does he/she present?
