  2. Annotating a Book • Annotated– Summary and/or evaluation http://www.maybeckhs.org/annotation02.jpg

  3. Annotating a Book • The first step before annotating a book is choosing a method that works best for you!

  4. When do you annotate? • When an important idea is being expressed. • After an important event in a story. • When you think you have found the Thesis. • When you have a question. • When you see information you may need for a test or a research paper. • When there are words you don’t know. Look up the words and write their definitions in the margin. • NOTE: If you are a highlighter, try to make it a habit to write next to the passage you are highlighting why you want to remember it! Sometimes we highlight and forget later why that passage was important.
