Annotation 2.0
(Hopefully) you spent last semester getting your feet wet in ANNOTATION. This semester, you're going to take more ownership in your annotation efforts. It's important to know that ANNOTATION is also called CLOSE READING, so don't be confused when that term is used in place of annotation. Always download your document/webpage/etc. as a PDF for annotating purposes. |
1. ONLY highlight words you can’t define
(and be ready to define them) 2. UNDERLINE things you think are important to remember. 3. Use other marks to note times of interest. I like to use the following: ? -for something confusing or if I have a question about it * -for something that is very important 1, 2, 3 when there are lists in the text 3. Use your margins (for meaningful notes to help you remember) |
I suggest you read the article to the right if you have any trouble with annotation. You may be required to read and summarize the article should your independent attempts to annotate prove inadequate.
