Annotating a Science Text
Annotate each text chunk in the left and right margins, leaving notes to remind you about the content, evidence, and your thinking
about that chunk of text. Use the strategies below to guide your thinking.
LEFT MARGIN
Summarize each chunk of text.
-
Decide the central idea of that text chunk.
-
Record the central idea in two (2) to three (3)
sentences.
Left Margin
Annotations
RIGHT MARGIN
Choose one of the following strategies for each text chunk:
- Represent the central idea of a chunk of text using a
sketch/drawing.
-
Write a question about that chunk of text for information
that confuses you.
-
Place an arrow beside any chunk of text that connects to
previously learned science content. Label the arrow with
what is review material.
-
Record science vocabulary terms. Use context clues to
try and define the terms.
Right Margin
Annotations
STOP!  Make sure you have completed all annotations before moving on! Check rubric for grading scale!
Answer these questions using full sentences. Cite what paragraph you gain your information from.
