<p>I'm in high school taking AP LIT. as a senior and one of my summer assignments is to read "How to Read Literature Like a Professor," and annotate it. My question is, Is there a formal or proper way to annotate a book? I would hate to lose points on something that i have not learned yet. thanks for the help.</p>
<p>p.s. I'm new to this, so i apologize if i posted this in the wrong section.</p>
<p>i have lots of advice its not even funny</p>
<p>oh i love that book! he’s really funny and creative in the way he explains it. i had to read it summer before my junior year, and i literally will never be able to forget it, since it always pops into my mind whenever reading a book.</p>
<p>anyways, the best way to annotate is however you feel comfortable. i underlined important quotes/sentences, things that i thought contributed to the main idea of the paragraph/chapter/book. i’d star them if they seemed super important. sometimes i’d write notes in the margins like “why?” or “this relates to ______ b/c of ______”
anything to help you remember it later, when you look it over, to quickly get the high points of the book.</p>
<p>having said that, [AP</a> Central - How and Why to Annotate a Book](<a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board) should give you a few more pointers if that doesn’t make sense or you feel you’re looking for something different.</p>
<p>thanks so much for your help.</p>
