At my school, we are trying to incorporate as many AVID strategies as possible. AVID is a college-prep program that teaches students skills that can be used across all curriculums in order to study and prepare for college. One of the strategies, marking the text, is used frequently in my US History class. Different colored highlighters are used to determine important vocabulary and meaning of the text based on the author's claims. At the beginning of the year, I purchased over 200 highlighters for my students; however, they are almost all gone! The students have been taking the highlighters to other classes and home to do work and they haven't returned. We need additional highlighters to continue using this strategy in the classroom.
