Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

Should Jacob buy a new car? If so, what should he buy?  Jacob and Pam discuss such questions, but most of all they discuss the matter of annotation in the reading workshop.

Pam shares how she has killed the love of reading (when she was a new teacher) because she would force students to annotate entire novels–it was a district expectation.  Jacob shares how he has been on teams that would fail students if they did not turn in their annotations.

Jacob and Pam agree that annotating is important and should be taught.

Join Jacob and Pam as they discuss how to teach students to annotate in a reading workshop classroom.
