Highlight & Annotate — Find-the-Pattern Variant
An active reading exercise where learners highlight specific words or phrases in a passage and get instant feedback on their picks — pilots a find-the-weak-verbs copy lab but the pattern fits any close-reading or pattern-spotting lesson.
Best for: Close-reading exercises where learners must find specific words, phrases, or patterns inside a passage and get instant feedback on each pick.

What it does
- Tap-to-highlight passage — learners click words or phrases inside the text to mark them
- Instant right/wrong feedback — correct picks lock in with a confirmation; wrong picks gently signal to try again
- Running score or progress — a counter shows how many of the target items have been found
- Reveal-remaining option — at the end, the exercise can show any items the learner missed
- Reset and replay — quick reset to try the same passage or load a new one
Best use cases
- Copywriting and editing — find weak verbs, passive voice, filler words
- Language learning — find verbs, articles, or specific tenses in a paragraph
- Coaching and self-help — find limiting beliefs in a journal passage
- Critical thinking — spot logical fallacies in a short argument
- Test prep — pattern-recognition reading drills
What you can change with your DNA
When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:
- Colors — slots for background, passage text, correct-highlight state, incorrect-highlight state, and progress emphasis.
- Fonts — two roles: a comfortable reading font for the passage and a clear UI font for instructions and feedback.
- Copy — exercise title, instructions, the passage itself, the list of correct target items, and feedback messages.
- Images — optional supporting visual or quote treatment around the passage.
- Behavior — number of target items, feedback timing, and whether the learner can un-highlight a pick.
