How do we annotate a text?
- highlighter: important words; phrases you can use as evidence; words you don’t understand; main idea or main argument
- notes in the margin: summary; make connections; definitions of words you learned; your opinions/ideas in conversation (or argument!) with the author’s; questions (clarification OR springboard)
- underline
- double underline
- squiggly line
- star
- bracket: something you agree with or want to call attention to, etc
- + and – for pros and cons
- circle: words to look up; key terms
- arrows: addendum to margin notes; connect ideas across the page
- notes at the end
