Thank you for all your help! I've been out of high school for almost 10 years, and have decided to go back to school where I'm taking an English class. 'm needing to annotate an article, and completely forgot how to do so. Thank you for the refresh!
You really make learning fun and easy to understand, I have always loved writing but I have also always had a difficult time focusing and taking notes but these videos have helped me tremendously. So thank you!
Thank you so much! You are a life saver! I’m literally annotating every text I’m assigned at my school so this helps a lot! Junior year has a lot of reading and so will senior year! Thx again!
I am finding your videos very helpful. I was never taught how to take notes and I am in my 50's. I have taken a number of accounting and income tax courses and struggeled the entire time for taking notes. in this video you have mentioned forshadowing what is that?
Hi Robbyn! Thank you for you kind message. It’s never too late to learn! Foreshadowing is simply a literary technique that authors use to provide hints to the reader about what will happen later in the story. For example, an author might describe a funeral procession a character sees out the window, which would foreshadow the character’s future death later on in the book. Foreshadowing can be fun to hunt for… it’s kind of like playing detective! There wouldn’t be any foreshadowing in accounting or tax course reading though, as it’s just mainly used in fiction. I hope that helps!
This helped so much! I'm having to annotate Pres. Roosevelt's first inaugural address and I didn't even know where to start with only given 8 techniques. I love that you expounded on annotation.
It makes me so happy to hear that this was helpful. His 1st address is written in pretty organized paragraphs, so just take it one paragraph at a time 🤓
Honestly, as someone who is an adult with ADHD who struggled in school/university, I wish I had this kind of information back then (1980s-early 2003). I never learned strategies for note-taking - especially for a neurodivergent brain as I wasn’t diagnosed ADHD until my 3rd year of nursing school - neurotypical strategies weren’t usually effective because my brain processed differently. So, I was frequently overwhelmed by information and not always processing the meanings behind it.
Great video!~ Can someone edit the captions for accuracy? Some schools may have issues sharing this video with students because it needs accurate captions to be WCAG / ADA compliant. Thank you!
Absolutely!!! I’ll do that!! Thank you for letting me know. I used to rely on TH-cam’s autocaptions, but I’ve been creating my own captions for about a year now and it looks like I need to go back into my older videos and make updates to the ones that were auto-generated. Thank you for letting me know! I’ll do that in the next 24 hours for sure.🤓
Yes! It's totally possible to highlight + rewrite in textbooks. It works great for textbooks because textbooks are so neatly organized into sections and sub-sections, which gives you clear stopping points (chunks of text) to write your summaries after.
Awesome question. Whether you're reading fiction or non-fiction, you want to first determine your PURPOSE. You want to think about WHY you're reading the text, and WHAT you want to get out of it. This will help you write more targeted and helpful annotations. For example, if you're reading a non-fiction book as part of your research for a research paper you're writing, you probably want to annotate for any information that's relevant to your thesis/argument. If you're reading a fiction novel for a class you're taking, and you know you'll be writing an essay about the book but you don't know what the essay will be about, you can annotate the book for symbols, themes, and key turning points/events ... all of which will likely be helpful when you write your essay, no matter the topic. If the book you're reading has chapters -- whether it's fiction or non-fiction -- I would still write short chapter summaries (bullet points or just 1-2 sentences) after reading each chapter.
@@SchoolHabits Thank you ma'am I'm from mn,a full time student in Minnesota, St.paul. I read james teen books fiction mostly not alot of non- fiction themes. So thank you so much.
Also as a senior on my last semester in Highschool, taking College Gen EDs to get them out of the way, you are soooooo helpful! You're easy to understand! I will have to try annotation. It is funny, I am an active reader, and have been grounded from reading before, but have never annotated a book. :)

YES!! You're going back to school! That's awesome. That's so hard ... but so awesome :)

complicity is a word
Nice work Katie, we love your content!
Thank you! 🙌🏽
Thank you very much! Will recommend your videos for Board Exam Reviewers like me!

Love your videos! Your LuminPDF example would have been even better if you used different colours.
Thank you so much!! You’re totally right. I should have!! 😋😅

How do you do a literal analysis of a play please???
Can u do a highlight and rewrite on a textbook
Yes! It's totally possible to highlight + rewrite in textbooks. It works great for textbooks because textbooks are so neatly organized into sections and sub-sections, which gives you clear stopping points (chunks of text) to write your summaries after.
Awesome 😎
Thank you 😋
How do you learn to annotate nonfiction and fiction books. And what is the difference. ?
Awesome question. Whether you're reading fiction or non-fiction, you want to first determine your PURPOSE. You want to think about WHY you're reading the text, and WHAT you want to get out of it. This will help you write more targeted and helpful annotations.

@@SchoolHabits Thank you, Ma'am.
Can you do a video on both non- fiction and fiction annotating? And what differences is thank you if not it's ok.
Yes! That’s an awesome idea. I will do that. 🤓☺️
@@SchoolHabits Thank you ma'am I'm from mn,a full time student in Minnesota, St.paul. I read james teen books fiction mostly not alot of non- fiction themes. So thank you so much.
I can't get over how gorgeous she is! I can be the only one that thinks that! The hair is stunning and so are your eyes. :)
