    Study Notes

    Underlining Key Points

    • Underlining is a method of highlighting key sentences, words, and phrases in a text to improve comprehension.

    Learning Outcomes

    • After completing this module, students should be able to identify and underline important points in a text.

    Annotating

    • Annotating is actively interacting with a text to enhance understanding, recall, and personal reaction.

    Why Annotate?

    • Annotating helps ensure understanding, summarize texts, highlight important information, and prepare for discussions.

    Steps in Annotating

    • Survey: Begin by examining the text's title, abstract, subheadings, and any bold or italicized terms to gain initial understanding.
    • Skim: Read the first few sentences of initial paragraphs, locate the main thesis, underline it, and summarize it in your own words. Continue skimming body paragraphs, highlighting main points and summarizing them in the margins.
    • Read: Thoroughly read the entire text, highlighting supporting evidence and writing down any questions in the margins. Circle unfamiliar words, look up their definitions, and write them in the margins.

    How to Underline or Highlight

    • Read an entire section before underlining.
    • Avoid underlining excessively.
    • Select information you want to learn for note-taking.
    • Make key points stand out clearly.
    • Write margin notes.
    • Understand that introductions rarely contain underlineable material.
    • Transform major headings and subheadings into questions.
