Annotating

What is step five of the annotation process?

• number the paragraphs

• What is the author doing?

• Underline/circle/highlight/define

• What is the author saying?

• read the text

When reading the text and annotating, you are...

• legit reading it and trying to answer questions

• trying to predict what will happen ad the end.

• underling and placing stars on the article.

• circling unfamiliar words, then defining them after the read.

ALL the following are examples of annotating a text EXCEPT...

• Underline

• 
  

  Circle

• Cross out

• Write a question

How do you chose questions for an annotation?

• things that are identified in bold

• Possible test questions over the article

• important points

• all of these

In step 2 of annotating Informational Text - why do we circle repeated words or phrases?

• To show our work

• To illustrate the main idea

• To identify the supporting details

• To determine the subject or topic of the selection

The third step in our annotation process of Informational text suggests to "box in the details". What is the purpose behind this?

• To highlight your details

• To determine the subject/topic of the text

• To determine the connection between them

• To identify the main idea

After determining the subject/topic of the text as well as the subject/topic's connection to the details you should...

• Highlight the main idea within the paragraph

• Write the main idea off on the side of the paragraph

• Box in the rest of the details

• Circle the most repeated words or phrases

Annotating is defined as...

• highlighting the entire text.

• markings/notes made on a text as you read it.

• summarizing the title. 

• taking notes about the main idea. 

The purpose of annotating is to...

• make an assumption about what is being read.

• make us do more work than we should be doing in English.

• highlight the text word for word. 

• allow you to interact with, understand, and think about what the text is saying.  

Annotating is when you...

• Highlight almost every word of the text

• Circle a few words to make it look like you read it

• Add notes and write critical comments on a text.

• None of these
