ANNOTATION What did I just read?
What is Annotation? Annotating a text means that you take notes physically, on the text you are reading. This can include: writing in the margins of the paper, highlighting, underlining, circling words, or writing definitions. You can even draw pictures of what is happening or of an object that is relevant to the text.
Why Annotate? Annotation helps you remember what you read. It helps you stay focused on what you are reading. It helps you to remember main ideas, and places in the text that you want to remember.
HOW to Annotate Read a text carefully. While you are reading, make notes about how you feel or think about the text as you read. Write down any questions you have. Highlight, underline, or circle main ideas. If you do not know a word, look the word up and write its definition. After you have completed reading a text or passage, ask yourself what you have just read.
Cont. Make note of authorial purpose, any figurative language, and any specific ways that the author conveys his/her message.
“In a sense we’ve come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed to the “Unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”- MLK
“You know the bed feels warmer Sleeping here alone You know I dream in color And do the things I want You think you got the best of me Think you've had the last laugh Bet you that everything good is gone Think you left me broken down Think that I'd come running back Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong” -Kelly Clarkson, “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger”
With your group, annotate the text that I have given you. You will be assigned stanzas #1-3 or 4-6. • Paraphrase (write in your own words) each stanza in RED. • Write down who you think that audience is (is there a You or He?) • Underline metaphors in BLUE. • Circle allusions in YELLOW. • Anything else that you note can be in any color.
