Texas Gateway: Reading Comprehension Across Genres: Annotate for Meaning

Curated by ACT

This lesson focuses on Annotation, a "writing-to-learn" strategy. It consists of writing explanatory notes and critical (analytical) commentary to yourself. Annotating text consists of two steps: (1) underlining, highlighting, circling, or marking the author's words in some way and (2) writing notes in the margins. Depending upon your purpose for reading, your marginal notes might include summaries, explanations, observations, clarifications, interpretations, predictions, and questions.
