Close Reading Bookmarks Nonfiction Annotation Tips (Notice & Note)

These close reading bookmarks follow the “notice and note” method of close reading for nonfiction. There are three bookmarks on one page, and there is a thick line separating them to allow for even cutting. When laminated, these bookmarks are great to reuse year after year, especially if their next teacher will follow the same close reading method.
