  • Chapter 3 annotations

    Students will read the assigned article or articles for the week/corresponding module. The students will complete the assignment in Hypothesis where they will be expected to make eight annotations about the article and engage in discussion with their classmates. When reviewing the article please consider the connection to Chapter readings for the module. For example, Bonds in Gangs how does the current article relate to the chapter just reviewed. Also you can pose question for me answer in hypothesis. Become familiar with the learning tool.

    Use “module 3 article” and make 10 annotations to that article. Reference “module 3 chapter” with the annotations. No need to cite each annotation. It works better if each annotation has a little substance to it other than a short part of a sentence.
