Okay we all have our own way of Annotating a book , Here is a few ways to get started
|
1, you can just use tabs , if you dont want to mark your pages , or until you feel comfortable in doing so . Just tab the line where you like the quote or words and so forth .
2, you can just underline to start with , underline everything that is interesting to you , or parts you really like or words you like , even underline words that you just dont understand or you dont know what they mean , or something that needs further research .
3, highlight , now you can use up to 10 different colours if you like , each colour stands for something you find interesting , funny , a quote , a sad line , maybe you cried , laughed outloud , angry , scared , anxious you name it you can annotate it . you are setting out to do something and annotating can help with that .
4, all you can do all the above ,. its up to you , its your book right
5, post it notes . Now writing on a post it note is a good way to annotate , without marking your books , or you can use post its , as a means to write a brief , or short thought about the book so far , like every 50 pages ,... or every 100 pages , This is also good for texts you need to study for collage or university . leaving a brief description of what you have read so far will help you in the long run , as it helps memory and to remember what ou have read more better than when you dont interact with your book at all .
