 Hey everyone, I'm Genie. So when I annotate, I like to have the printed article or book in front of me. I get my favorite colors, a pen, a few post-its, maybe some blank paper too. Symbols help me mark the page without making it messy. It's kind of like when you pin things on a map to help you find things later. A star means cite this passage. An exclamation point means pay attention. A question mark says what does this mean? And a square bracket means review this later. Circle numbers also help me list out key themes. I like to mix and match these symbols for any kind of reading. Good luck.
