Resource summary
Annotation tips
Spend no more than five minutes
Write a sentence long into so they know which question, then spend 8 minutes a paragraph
Read through the text. If it helps, briefly look at the question
Circle/underline/highlight words and phrases which stand out to you
DON'T look for specific techniques - it takes too long
When you see a word which stands out to you, identify the technique then
That being said, if you find one used consistently then keep an eye out
If you find a really good adverb, for example, keep it in mind as you could find more
For higher level students, aim for 4 detailed paragraphs
Try to find multiple quotes a point
One similie does not mean 'the author uses similies throughout to make it dramatic/significant'
Its worth thinking of your points after annotating
It can be helpful to annotate chronologically
Look at the tone thats created at the beginning, middle and end by your selected words
E.g is youn find words that create a sinister tone
Does this tone change? this could be your next paragraph
Annotating by tone throughout:
Ensures comments on structure and form
Allows you to discuss various techniques throughout 1 paragraph without getting away from you point
e.g. If you see techniques such as changing adverbs throughout
Make this one of your points
Study this change - are there any other quotes that reinforce this change?
