Annotations

What characterizes effective annotation?
-Shows how YOU think, not just what's happening
-Specific, elaborate, should be detailed
-Shows significance
-Does not capture that which will not contribute to understanding or analysis (i.e. reaction, questions)
-Finding the meaning of something you think may be important but do not understand (for example translating different languages)
-Keeps out the reactions and opinions
-Is well-organized, which may even include something such as color-coding
-Text to text connections should be included because they help to predict where the story/character may be going
-Is specific to the purpose of reading and digs deep into a couple concepts, don't try to focus on every idea possible.
