Description

Bailey’s Meta-Textual Markers– Dr. Bailey has identified specific roles or claim 1 targets for five neon colored highlighters, with their tasks imprinted on each that correspond to the procedures outlined in the CLOSE Reading Strategy placemat.  The colors and tasks/targets are as follows; yellow-vocabulary, orange– key details, green– text features, pink– text organization and blue-author’s craft.  When conducting a close read of text, students use these meta-textual markers to identify and highlight attributes of complex text.  This tool provides an excellent strategy for building capacity in students to conduct a close read of and cite evidence from text.
