What is Annotation?
Annotation
is summing up information in a text or article by writing brief key points in
the margins. It is an active reading strategy that improves comprehension and
is the beginning of the learning and remembering process. It requires that the
student take time to understand what he or she is reading and then put it into
his or her own words.
Students
who annotate their text read to make meaning rather than read just to complete
the assignment. Though annotation takes more time, student actually spend less
time studying because they are actually learning the material while they are
annotating.
