Qualities of an effective annotation
● Uses one well-developed paragraph, which is unified, coherent, concise,
and able to stand alone (between100 to 200 words).
● Adds no new information – merely summarizes.
● Contains stand-alone qualities – the annotation can be understood without
reading the paper.
● Is understandable to a wide audience.
Recommendations on writing annotations
Read the text carefully and answer the question: “What is the text about?”
Formulate the main topic and subtopics.
Break the text into logical parts, give them titles.
Start annotation with bibliography (the author, title, publisher, etc.).
Start sentences with the typical phrases (clichés).
Use passive constructions.
