Improving Annotation skills
Lisa Meyers This is something I'm trying to work on with my students as well in 9th grade. I upload a reading and have them annotate with the Kami app (embedded with Google Classroom). I also use these simple instructions and rubric to help them along, and then I also provide an exemplar or will model it in class with a short reading.

Angela Lee Do your students have Chromebooks? I love this idea of utilizing Kami, but am worried they won't have the ability to annotate legibly using the trackpad on the Chromebook.
They are actually not - most of them use Macbook Airs, and we are 1-to-1 BYOD. I'm not sure why the trackpads on Chromebooks are so terrible, but I can see your concern using Kami. However, Kami also includes typing text, or just highlighting (straight, not freehand), so that might mitigate the issue.
