november 5, 2016 // 12:49 am // 12/100 days of productivity // after nearly a week of taking a break from uni, i decided to start rewriting my notes in theology bc iāve got a quiz coming up!! :(
[10/23/16]
the real question is how will i ever get my shit together?
probably my favorite spread from my journal !!
Ok so Iāve finally gotten around to doing this highly requested post based off this post and Iām sorry to all those who had been waiting for ages for it to come out but here it is!!!
How to Annotate a Novel Efficiently
Look Iām actually doing the play Medea at the moment so this can be used for other texts apart from novels too!
Like Iāve said before, I know lots of people donāt want to taint their texts with writing and highlighting, but to me, it is so so satisfying when I finish with a fully annotated book with tabs flying out of every page and all that, plus it acts as a sweet resource once itās done.
((Hopefully by the time youāve gotten around to this level of annotating, youāve read through your text already and maybe even put down some initial thoughts in the margins.))
To put it simply, I have three levels of coordination when it comes to annotating a novel: words, tabs and sticky notes.
1. Sticky notes
Use for big chunks of text you canāt fit in the margins of your book, such as summaries of characters, themes, etc
They can also get those big chunks of info to stand out from the rest of the novel
Ā If youāre reading a larger text with chapters, itās quite handy to use big sticky notes to summarise each section.Ā
2. Tabs (and highlighting)
Yep so these are the tabs I have sticking out of my book and theyāre used for quick references, where I can easily search up a type of quote quickly in the novel without having to flip through every page.
The colours of the tabs I use are the same colours as my highlighters, so it is easy to see where the quote is and which tab it corresponds to.
ACTUALLY HIGHLIGHT the specific quote rather than leaving a tab there by itself, for future reference when you need a specific quote, but if youāve got a massive chunk that is just too important to pick out a small quote, use a square bracket on the inside margin. Smaller quotes are better.
Have a tab for broad topics such as characters, themes, literary devices, plot developments, context, etc. If you have more colours, you can always make your categories more specific (for me, the character of Medea is separate to the rest of the characters)
I write the main idea on the tab itself, a.k.a. the reason why I highlighted or tabbed that quote there.
Which quotes to highlight depends on
a)Ā Ā Ā Ā What we go through in class
b)Ā Ā Ā Ā What is written as an important quote in the text guide we are given/the internet suggests
c)Ā Ā Ā Ā What I think is important. If youāre not sure, ask yourself WHY is that quote important and if you can answer that, highlight it!!!
Ā 3. Words
The further explanation of quotes is written on the actual pages, and often right under a tab to elaborate.
I recommend using a thin pen as in 0.38 to really fit in as much as possible.
This step as well as tabbing is so so important, because you can highlight as much as you want, but it really wonāt mean anything until youāve written down its significance, and even if you have an amazing memory, this is vital ok. Even a few words along the margin explaining the quote can mean the difference between good writing and great writing in your upcoming essay.
What do I actually write? If itās a literary device, Iāll name it (e.g. Metaphor) and explain its symbolism, or the authorās intention for putting that in. If itās a theme related quote, Iāll explain the message that the author is trying to convey through that quote. If itās a character related quote, Iāll explain how that quote adds to their character, maybe finding contrasts, etc.
Supplies that I used were:
- Mildliners (pink, orange, yellow, blue, aqua; gotta get that colour coding)
- Pilot Frixion Point
- Uni-ball Signo TSI (erasable like the frixion pen so that if Iām not too sure about what Iāve written as an annotation, I can check with the teacher and erase if need be)
- A set of 1000 tabs in total, divided among pink, orange, yellow, green and blue
- Pastel square sticky notes
As an optional step, I highly recommend making use of the back cover or spare pages in the book. I use them for writing definitions of recurring words, good vocabulary to use in the future when writing the essay and also character maps, explaining the relationship between each character.
I hope you all find this helpful!
((disclaimer: this is just how I do it so donāt shank me pls))
