Hi Mackenzi,
I hope this advice is helpful. Think of annotating as the premise of a lesson plan. It is the most important points, and it is meant to be a clear overview of what you are reading. Some tips are to have a goal of what you are trying to achieve by reading the book, passage, etc. Use a pencil if you find yourself debating on what you are highlighting. If you use a pencil, you will be able to erase. Also, if your teacher provides reading questions to go along with the reading, use those to help guide you on what to annotate. I hope this is helpful.

Annotation helps you make a point or highlight important information to reference later. I often use plastic sticky markers with pointers to mark sentences or paragraphs I want to remember as I go through a book or report. Then, I organize these thoughts and ideas in a notebook to write an essay or research paper.
