Diigo annotations: Pro-con readings: benefits of energy from wind power
7th grade students iMelanie Swandby’s Lighthouse School Community
Charter School, Oakland, California Students posed questions for each other
“What does that mean, virtually free?”
What are some things that use energy or power?”
Adding sticky-note annotations

One student’s annotation: con essay
Students responding to each other’s annotations
Dialogic interactions through annotations
“There is a bad and good thing about this. Bad is it kills birds passing by. Good it makes energy cleaner.”
“Tarnished with wind turbines? Aren't wind turbines supposed to be a good thing? Why are they complaining about the turbines? it doesn't even look bad.”
Use of annotations for summary writing
I am perplexed in choosing if wind energy is a good courses or bad source. While, wind energy is a good source because it’s renewable and needs nothing more but construction, it can also cause irritation and attention of some people. Wind turbines are loud, noisy, and risky. Even though, it doesn’t cause any greenhouse gases in the air, wind turbines are harmful to wildlife and space. More birds die by getting hit by wind turbines which is very dangerous to our wildlife.
