This document provides instructions for an activity involving interactive readers (IRs). It includes a list of materials needed and roles for group members. It outlines tasks for labeling and annotating pages in the IR according to a rubric, including numbering paragraphs, circling key terms, highlighting key information, and using abbreviations. Students are to answer questions and grade themselves before turning in the annotated IR and rubric the next day.
