What is annotation? an·no·ta·tion [ˌanəˈtāSH(ə)n] NOUN annotations (plural noun) a note of explanation or comment added to a text or diagram: "marginal annotations" synonyms: note · notation · comment · gloss · footnote · commentary · explanation · interpretation the action of annotating a text or diagram: "annotation of prescribed texts"

Looking at sample annotations Skim the text and carefully examine the annotations. Write down the variety of ways that you see how someone uses annotations. Same sheet of paper – create a list with a partner that shows what effective annotations might do. (This paper will be stored in the notes/handouts section of your binder) Students may say that the annotations: give definitions to difficult and unfamiliar words. give background information, especially explaining customs, traditions, and ways of living that may be unfamiliar to the reader. help explain what is going on in the text. make connections to other texts. point out the use of literary techniques and how they add meaning to the text. can use humor (or other styles that might be quite different from the main text). reveal that the writer of these annotations knows his or her reader well.

The Basics Pass out annotation sheet (have next slide printed on back fill-in the blank)

As you work with your text, consider all of the ways that you can connect with what you are reading. Define words or slang; make the words real with examples from your experiences; explore why the author would have used a particular word or phrase. Make connections to other texts you have read or seen, including: movies, comic books/graphic novels, News events, books, stories, plays, songs, or poems. Re-write, paraphrase, or summarize a difficult passage. Make connections to your life experiences. Describe a new perspective you may now have. Did the text change your mind? Explain the historical context or traditions/social customs that are used in the passage. Offer an interpretation of what is happening in the text. Point out and discuss literary techniques that the author is using.

If this were my set of annotations, what is one thing that I would change/add? (Partner writes their name next to the notes) They should be looking to see that there are a variety of annotations and that the annotations dig deeper than just surface comments (e.g., definitions) and move toward meaningful personal connections and even literary analysis.
