1. IRB

2. I will collect your Hamlet Books to check on your annotating. I am looking for:
– Meaningful questions
– Comments or connections
– Circling unfamiliar words and defining them in the margin
– Jotting down important ideas in your own words
– Making predictions
– Underlining or Booming words or phrases that grab your interest

Obviously, not every page is going to have all (or any) of these things. In fact, your pages should not be ink stained. Be careful with your note-taking and make sure they are meaningful annotations.
