A general rule to follow for annotating a text is to actively engage with the text by highlighting or underlining key points, making margin notes to summarize or analyze important information, using symbols or codes to mark different types of information (such as a question mark for unclear points or an exclamation mark for surprising ideas), and connecting different parts of the text through arrows or lines to identify relationships or patterns. Additionally, it is important to use your own words rather than copying extensive sections of the text, as this helps to reinforce comprehension and critical thinking skills.
