Annotating a Text
The purpose of annotating a text is
to record the inner dialogue we as readers have with our text. It becomes a visual record of your thoughts.
· Mark any important information
· Write in the margins (take notes)
· Summarize in 3-4 words
· Make predictions
· State opinions
· Make connections: text to text, text
to self, text to world
· Look for patterns/repetitions
· Analyze the author’s craft
· Reflect on content
· Reflect on your own reading
· Jot down questions you have
· Use underlining or symbols
Be creative and make it work for
you! There is no right or wrong way to
annotate.
