What is annotating?
• Annotate means to add markings, notes,
questions, comments, and observations to
the text you are reading.
• You should underline key words.
• Write meanings and clarifications in the
margins.
• Annotating is more than underlining. It is
thinking about the material you read.

The textbook is a learning tool and should be
used as such.
It is your job to wade through the text,
selecting the most important pints needed.
Marking in the textbook is faster than
summarizing, outlining, and note taking, and
since your material and personal reactions
are all in one place (in the margin and on the
text page), you can view them at a glance for
study rather than refer to separate notebooks
or pieces of paper.
