What could text annotation add to your reading experience? Are there any negative consequences of text annotation? If so, do the benefits outweigh the costs?

What will be an ideal response?


Students tend to resist text annotation, as it adds to the time they spend reading. This question aims to get students to acknowledge this cost, and to consider whether it is worth their time to annotate as they read. The answer should depend on what they are reading and for what purpose. They will need to determine which study strategies to employ in certain circumstances. To reject a strategy wholesale, however, is indicative of a less-than-critical mindset.
