Learn what Hypothes.is can do!

This helpful tool allows you to help guide your students through annotations. You as the instructor can be inside the text you provide to your students while they are reading, helping to facilitate comprehension and guided analysis. Any line of text can be highlighted by you to help point students to key parts of any given text. 

Have students mark and explain the use of rhetorical strategies in online articles and essays. Students can, for example, be asked to identify key rhetorical strategies like ethos, pathos, or logos. Or have students identify rhetorical fallacies within an argument.  

Using Hypothes.is also means you can annotate and comment using multimedia elements in the composition process. Students and teachers can use animated GIFs or images. This allows for the idea of digital writing to students with particular attention to the use of images!
