This learning resource focuses on the annotation practice related to the book 'Holes' by Louis Sachar, specifically targeting Chapters 2 and 3. The workshop aims to teach students how to apply annotation symbols to identify and quote explicit textual evidence regarding the character Stanley and his misfortunes. Students will learn to underline major plot events and box instances of bad luck. They will engage in both guided and independent practice, extracting quotes that highlight Stanley's challenges and reflecting on how these details illustrate the depth of his struggles beyond mere bad luck. The resource provides a structured approach for students to enhance their analytical skills through close reading and evidence collection.
