There are different kinds of annotations that you can add yourself. All annotations should be around 50 words. Some kinds of annotations you can write include:

• Asking questions about the text’s meaning or an element that is confusing
• Answering other students’ questions
• Pointing out a detail of the text and describing what you think it means
• Reflecting on the historical context (you may choose to link to another web page for this and describe the information)
• Connecting to personal experience, class discussion, or other course materials
