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.
