  1. Annolighting What is Annolighting? If done well, highlighting can become a very effective reading tool; if done poorly, it is most likely a waste of a student’s time, energy and ink. "Annolighting" a text combines with that help to explain the highlighted words and phrases. effective highlighting marginal annotations

  2. What is the purpose of Annolighting? • Sets a purpose for reading that leads to understanding of the big idea (Unit Understanding) • Capture main ideas / key concepts / details of a reading • Target, reduce and distill the needed information from a text • Improve efficiency in reading and reviewing text  • Strengthen reading comprehension

  3. Chapter 3 Main Ideas/Concepts(A.K.A. “What am I highlighting?”) Buck vs. Spitz; the fight for leadership Buck’s continued retrogression to a more primitive dog Perrault and Francois as owners

  4. How do I do this? DO NOT Highlight the first time you read! Divide each page into chunks. Skim each chunk and then highlight on the second reading. EVERY TIME YOU HIGHLIGHT YOU NEED TO HAVE A CORRESPONDING ANNOTATION/COMMENT! If you try to highlight the first time you read, you probably will not have a clear understanding of the key ideas/concepts or the important/relevant details. 2. Telescoping: Only highlight necessary words. This means that you should RARELY highlight entire sentences. Instead focus on key words and phrases. Eliminate 6-20 words per sentence. You should still be able to make sense of the meaning of the sentence when you re-read these words when you review. 3. As you highlight you will ANNOTATE or have a WRITTEN EXPLANATION for your highlighting in the margins. Your annotations should be clearly related to the purpose of the reading.
