one of the most important functions of annotation is that it allows you to review readings later on by simply skimming. if you\u2019ve taken proper notes, you\u2019ll just need to look at certain sections in order to understand the main points.<\/p>\n

highlight crucial sentences<\/h2>\n

highlight the information that best helps to summarize the reading. in order to accomplish this task, it may help to read all of the information first, then skim over it again and highlight the most important parts. since you will have already seen the whole reading, you\u2019ll know for sure what the most important parts are.<\/p>\n

write notes to clarify<\/h2>\n

write notes that help clarify a certain concept. when you review the reading later, you\u2019ll be able to quickly understand what these groups of sentences mean. you can also write notes that make a connection between one concept and another, which will help you out in the final exam.<\/p>\n

use a dictionary<\/h2>\n

look up words you don\u2019t know and write what they mean on the page. this way, you won\u2019t have to look them up over and over again. it\u2019s also a great way to build your vocabulary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
