<A sentence or two or perhaps a paragraph from the source should appear here. Copy and paste the text here>
This is basically saying <paraphrase the quote, putting it into your own words. Be sure your re-statement is clear, complete, and cogent.>
This might make one wonder… <Finish this sentence, then freewrite for 5 minutes about any new thoughts you may be having about your inquiry question>
Another point <Writer’s Last Name> makes in <his/her> <blog post / news item / magazine article / podcast / video> is: “ <Quote from writer’s text.> ” This is <adjective> because… <add 1 or 2 sentences>
A third point addressed by <Writer’s Last Name> is: “ <Quote from the text> .” This is significant, because…

At the bottom of your post, paste one link that will take us to your Hypothes.is annotations for this blog or article. Follow these instructions:

After you have annotated one or many articles with Hypothes.is, you may want to collect your most thoughtful, inspired annotations into one place. I’ll show you how to create a URL that you can use to point others to your best annotations about a particular question or topic. If you make this URL into a link in a post on Youth Voices or submit this URL as evidence for an XP or for a badge on LRNG, your readers or evaluators will be able to click on that link and easily find your best annotations.
- Log in to Hypothes.is and go to your account.
- Add a special, unique tag to each of the annotations that you want to submit. (Be sure that these annotations are public.) For example, if you have read three articles about Black Lives Matter, and you want to submit a few annotations from each of these articles, here’s what to do:
- Find the articles again and open your annotations
- Click the “Visit annotation in context” arrow and allow time for this to load.
- Add a special, unique tag. For example: 9bestBLM (which could stand for my nine best Black Lives Matter annotations)
- Be sure to add this specific tag to each of the annotations–and only those annotations–that you want to submit.
- Now, go to the landing page for your Hypothes.is account again. Find the tag that you just created and click on it. The annotations that you have tagged should appear. Copy the URL that appears at the top of your browser.
- Paste that URL at the bottom of a post on Youth Voices.
Use this guide when you want to write a more formal response to one essay or to different parts, sections, or chapters of a book.
This guide will ask you to quote at least two times from that essay and to explain why those two quotes represent the author’s views and your thoughts about those views. What makes these parts of the text stand out for you?
You’ll also be asked to explain at least two things you agree or disagree with in the text and to give your reasons. And you’ll be asked to say what you appreciate most about this writer’s work.
