Transcription de la présentation

  1. Annotating Literature A Guide to Active Reading

  2. BEFORE YOU READ…PREVIEW THE TEXT • What do you think the title has to do with the text? • Who is the author? • What time period was the piece written in? • How is the text structured? • Are you given any visuals?

  3. NEXT…CONSIDER YOUR PURPOSE • Why are you reading and how will you use the text? • Do you need a basic understanding? • Are you looking just for the main ideas? • Do you need detailed comprehension of the book? • Will you need a complete analysis?

  4. ANNOTATING OBJECTIVES… • To identify the author’s most important points. • To recognize how they fit together. • To note how you respond to them.

  5. WHEN YOU ANNOTATE… • Underline and highlight passages. • Make written notes in the margins of texts to identify the most important ideas, the main examples or details, and the things that trigger your own reactions. • Devise a notation system.

  6. “WHAT WILL I BE REQUIRED TO ANNOTATE IN ANIMAL FARM?

  7. Character Information • Introduction to character (meeting him or her) • Changes in attitudes or beliefs • Connections to the Russian Revolution • Anything else that strikes your attention

  8. Literary Devices • Simile/metaphor—comparisons • Irony (situational, verbal, dramatic) • Theme—life lesson learned • Etc.

  9. Vocabulary • Words that you are not familiar with • Helps with the understanding of the novel • Use the dictionary!!

  10. At the end of each chapter… • Summarize what you have read • 2-3 sentences stating the main points of the chapter • What do you think you should remember?

  11. KEEP IN MIND… • The more precise your marks are and the more focused your notes and reactions, the easier it will be to draw material from the text into your own writing.

  12. SO, BE SELECTIVE… • The unfortunate tendency is to underline (or highlight) too much of a text. DON’T DO THIS! A good reader will mark sparingly, keeping the focus on the truly important elements of a writer’s ideas and his or her own reactions.

  13. MOST IMPORTANTLY… • Don’t let this scare you! • Everything you say is useful!
