Course: Research & The Crucible

An annotation is a critical note (or series of notes) that is added to a text. When you read a novel or a webpage, questions and comments come to your mind.
- "Why does the ring have such a power over Frodo?"

- "This paragraph totally contradicts the last one. Why?"

- "What is the meaning of the title?"

These examples may seem unimportant, but it is through engaging/interacting with a text that meaning is created. This section will help you to think about the importance of annotating.
