\u00a0Annotations Guide
Reading and writing are two sides of the same coin. Each is pointless without the other. Therefore, when reading, it is often beneficial to consider how the reading will contribute to, enable, or otherwise affect your writing. One of the best ways to do this is through annotation.\u00a0
In academic writing,\u00a0there are\u00a0two kinds of annotations\u00a0conducted for reading tasks. In this class,\u00a0we will be using the second style:\u00a0
The first type of annotation, the one you’re most likely familiar with, simply means notetaking and may include highlighting, margin comments, underlining, color coding, or whatever helps you organize a reading’s contents for future use in writing.\u00a0
The second type of annotation helps to prepare a tool used in large writing projects called an\u00a0Annotated Bibliography.\u00a0Annotated bibliographies help to compile the information from a large number of sources onto one document in a useful way.\u00a0
This type of annotating entails organizing thoughts and summaries of each source as two paragraphs under a complete citation. <\/p>\n
Phase II of this course will be an Annotated Bibliography assignment in UNIT 2, which we will begin preparing for now with these short annotation assignments.\u00a0
Over the course of UNIT 1, you will be reading and annotating works by experts in the field of Writing studies. This serves several purposes.\u00a0
This is not your typical “English” class. By reading works from experts in the field, you will learn how to look at writing in your own life as we do in Writing Studies.\u00a0
These annotations also provide written content that you will be using in Phase II (So take it seriously!)
MOST IMPORTANTLY, as you will see, these readings provide the terminology and theoretical frameworks for ALL of your future work in this class.\u00a0
\u00a0Content
The assignment is “Annotation for Deborah Brandt\u2019s ‘Sponsors of Literacy’\u201d\u00a0(WaW, pp.\u00a068-81).
The annotations you will write for our readings build your body of content for what will be one of your Major Literacy Activities:\u00a0The Annotated Bibliography and Synthesis.\u00a0 As such, annotations should include:
