How to Annotate! 

I thought I’d do a lil post about how I annotate books! This is a new system for me but I like it a lot considering I always use post-its (I hate writing in books) for my annotations. This is a book I’m annotating for my AP Lit class that I start in the fall!

Organize your annotations.

The system I showed above is a simple color-coordinating method that lets you easily flip back and find specific things. For example, if you have vocab words assigned with the text, you can flag them with a green post-it; when you need to go back and find them later for studying, they can be found without effort. 

Summarize plot info.

My blue post-its are basically paraphrased or broken down versions of the text. If you’re reading complicated works, this will probably be necessary for you to understand the text. Additionally, I extract the meaning from the text and jot it down on the blue post-its. Candide by Voltaire is a satire, which means I have to really closely read to figure out what he’s actually trying to say, even though the text itself isn’t that complex. 

Define terms. 

Define, define, define- always! This is necessary for aforementioned complicated texts. Collect background info for historical texts- if a book alludes to something and you’re not sure what it means, google it and write it down. Also, ask questions- if a character does something out of place, ask yourself why they did so; it’s probably important. This is demonstrated on my yellow post-its. 

Always look for literary devices. 

If you’re going into AP Lang or another AP language arts class, I strongly suggest you become acquainted with literary devices before the school year starts. They’re a major part of the AP test and if you notice a reoccurring pattern of certain literary devices in a text, it’s how the author is developing their point! I marked these for Candide on the pink post-its. 

Lastly- annotate for the prompt or for what your teacher tells you to.

Duh. If your teacher says to annotate for motifs, annotate for motifs! It’s pretty straightforward.

Reading in your target language just got so much easier

This cool little website, called readlang, allows you to upload your book, in your target language, from epub form into their website, right? And you just read your book from there. When you don’t know a word, what do you do? Do you go to google dot com and type in that word? Nope. You fucking click it. And it tells you the word. 

I am currently reading the 100 (this is the book that the tv show came from) and I can already tell reading this way is so much easier. I highly suggest making an account. It’s free, and works for more than 80 languages!

I'm raising money to volunteer in Fiji this summer!!

https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/jackelyn-howell

I'm planning to go to Fiji in summer 2018 with the charitable organisation 'Think Pacific' to volunteer and work in a local Fijian community. I'll be working with the Fijian Government and helping children through education and sports projects.

'Think Pacific' is an amazing student-led charity which gives students the opportunity to go abroad and help the local community. I've decided to take part in this project as I really want to challenge myself and work with a school in Fiji for a month considering it's a career path I'd like to go into in the future!

If you can donate that would be very helpful and all donations are going straight to this amazing opportunity and will aid the Fijian community.

Thanks!
