Students submit Exit 12
Marking key explained-students look at bookmarks
C: Culture, anything that relates to her beliefs, religion, the way she lives
H: History, anything reflecting the time period they live in
P, M, S- Put a squiggly line under the quote you think is a device and then label it as P for personification, M for metaphor, or S for simile
box symbols- box them every time you see them, because eventually you will have an essay relating to symbolism and it will help if you have them all marked ahead of time
Underline main idea/important details- DO NOT underline everything. Reserve the underline for whats extremely important or you think I might ask you quiz questions about.
Character names-Circle the first time you see a character. You do not have to circle them every time.
G-Gender roles-If you see anything that relates to a woman or man's role in society, mark it with a G.
Q-Quote that stands out-these are quotes in which you really like the way she worded something, its stands out as significant and can be any excerpt from the book when the narrator or a character is talking.
:(-tragedy- A lot of tragic, sad things happen to the main character. Mark them with the sad face.
Class learns how to mark Chapter 1 in a book (that they own) or on a piece of paper (if borrowing a book from school or library)
Everyone reads pg 1 together and discusses potential markings
If doing on your own paper:

2 "Quote from pg 2" marking Information that helps me
understand why you marked
it this way.
Must continue marking anything from bookmark until the last page of the reading section,
which in this chapter goes to pg 7, in most books. There shouldn't be holes from page to
page. Students documenting markings should list a minimum of 20 items per chapter.
If marking in book, simply mark the item in the text and be prepared to present or explain
to class or Ms. Batten.
