Here's what's inside:

Part 1: The Universal Annotation Key — a color-coded table with 7 symbols (heart, question mark, star, exclamation, arrow, box, and summary sigma) that work for any text, any grade. Designed to live in the corner of every handout.

Part 2: Poetry Annotation Framework — covers figurative language, symbolism, stanza summaries (with the highlight-for-grading tip baked right in), tone/mood, speaker/POV, and structural choices. Includes a rotating station tip.

Part 3: Concept-Focused Annotations — an 8-row table matching literary concepts (irony, foreshadowing, ethos/pathos/logos, unreliable narrator, etc.).

Part 4: Easy-to-Grade Tips — the highlighted summaries trick, minimum counts, mandatory margin labels, using annotations as pre-writing evidence, and the model-first routine.
