Reduce the need of time spent in rereading the chapters.  6. Help you state ideas in your own words.

Steps to annotating  1. Circle and define any unknown words.  2. Paraphrase each section/paragraph.  3. Underline or highlight key phrases or ideas.  4. Write down questions.  5. Determine the main idea.
