This guide outlines effective strategies for engaging with texts through active reading and annotation. Begin by identifying your focus question. As you read, seek answers and record your thoughts in the margins. Use highlighting to emphasize key points and jot down observations, disagreements, and questions. After reading, reflect on your learning and consider connections to the broader discussion in class. Prepare one or two insightful points to share, fostering a richer dialogue during discussions.

What do I expect your annotations to look like? • Put your focus question at the top. As you read, look for answers to those focus questions. • Dialogue with the text: • Highlighting or underlining • Answers to focus questions or simply points of interest or importance • Margin notes • Questions • Observations • Disagreements • Connections • Reader Response/Reflection after you’ve read • What did you learn? What are you still wondering about? How do you see this article, story, poem, etc. fitting into the bigger discussion and focus of our class? Here, jot down one or two points that you’d feel comfortable bringing up in class. That way, if I call on you, you’ll feel comfortable and prepared.
