1) THANK YOU @IjeomaOluo for writing "So You Want to Talk About Race." PERFECT book for my comp students, white and BIPOC. 2) Thank you @remikalir for the #annotatedsyllabus. My students LOVE IT–they tell me it's the first time they've ever contributed to the goals of the class.

Asking students to annotate the syllabus is a powerful teaching tool. And the starter prompts @remikalir provides are excellent too. https://t.co/bblmTK93nl pic.twitter.com/CZEjdCShoC

This term I had my 7th graders annotate my course expectations / syllabus. It gave them practice using Gdocs comments AND it gave me feedback as a writer. Their thoughtful questions gave me ideas for revision. Happy I could finally try this idea via @remikalir – #annotation

I finally tried out #AnnotatedSyllabus w/ my @AsaoBInoue-inspired grading contract–I'm sold!! Students asking for more check-in options with me & partners, negotiating Zoom participation norms & debating whether the default grade in the class should be A or B #TG2Chat https://t.co/YXIZkBUBuX

I will never stop doing a syllabus annotation.

At #digped I revisited @remikalir 's syllabus annotation activity and implemented it this fall. Essentially, the syllabus is a Google Doc and they each have to add 2 comments – questions, excitement, concern, confusion.

I’ve done this for the past two years and it has substantively impacted the way I plan to teach, they way I teach, and the way I reflect on my teaching. Most importantly, it has provided connection to my students in ways that are meaningful and impactful #annotatedsyllabus https://t.co/7VfCsWp5mP

The benefits of #AnnotatedSyllabus are invaluable. I've eliminated one assignment, revised others. Students also appreciate being viewed as participants who have a stake in the course rather than as hostages to a contract. And then they say things like this: 1/3

I love this call for an #AnnotatedSyllabus. I used to do a fold-your-own-quarto syllabus for my Renaissance #BookHistory course; I would def combine with this for a true Ren way of working with texts and for all the student engagement winning. https://t.co/bW5R8aozco

Thanks to @remikalir once more for the idea of syllabus annotation to start the school year. It is my third year of group annotation with my high school students @MoravianAcademy , and it is an extremely valuable activity– for all of us! pic.twitter.com/GxZDWYlpLw

For my Learning Theory class, I had my students join @F1000, then I added my syllabus. I asked students to annotate the syllabus, commenting on what they had questions on, what they needed clarified, etc. 213 notes later (all the highlighted sections in the video)… pic.twitter.com/UOnieLTtwF

for ungrading or any other new approach you are taking with the syllabus, putting the syllabus in a discussion space like @hypothes_is is a great way to bring the syllabus to life; I've booked Remi's latest #AnnotatedSyllabus post for #UngradingSlowChat today; thanks, @remikalir! https://t.co/gOnXe7hmVY
