Annotate
Annotating puts you actively and immediately i
n a "dialogue” with an author and the issues and ideas you encounter in a written text.
It's also a way to have an ongoing conversation with yourself as you move through the text and to record what that encounter was like for you.
Tips
Annotate
- Throw away the highlighter! Studies show it’s not particularly useful.
- Make notes - Engage with the text and boost your comprehension.
- Ask questions - “What does this mean?” “What is the author saying?”
