Article Annotation

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 practice close reading, annotation, and informational text analysis using a short article about artificial intelligence. As students read, they identify sentences that express myths, rewrite them as factual statements in the margins, and record both the original misconceptions and corrected ideas, strengthening comprehension, critical thinking, and technology literacy.

Learning Goals

• Annotation & Close Reading (Grades 5-7) – Highlight key sentences, mark misconceptions, and engage deeply with informational text.
• Misconception Correction – Identify inaccurate claims and rewrite them using factual, precise language.
• Informational Text Comprehension – Analyze ideas, claims, and explanations within a nonfiction article.
• Fact-Based Evaluation – Practice evaluating statements about AI using logic and evidence.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to support ELA annotation and reading standards.
• Active Reading Structure – Encourages margin notes, rewriting, and organized evidence tracking.
• Flexible Implementation – Works well for independent practice, guided reading, homework, or assessment.
• Technology Literacy Support – Builds realistic understanding of AI capabilities and limitations.
• Accessible for Diverse Learners – Clear directions and structured annotation space support student success.

This printable worksheet helps students build strong annotation habits, improve comprehension of informational text, and develop confidence correcting inaccurate claims. By rewriting AI myths into factual statements, learners strengthen critical thinking, precise writing, and responsible evaluation of technology-related information. Suitable for both classroom instruction and homeschool use, this activity reinforces close reading, fact-checking, and clear explanation skills while promoting thoughtful understanding of artificial intelligence.
