The annotation method that we were focusing on for this chapter was to look for certain things while reading to give specific annotations. We were asked to make text to self and text to text annotations for the first part of the chapter. For the second part of the chapter we were asked to still make those text to self and text to text annotations but add in some annotations about summary and quotes and also labeling the three learning styles of deep, surface, and strategic. I also color coded to help keep my thoughts organized. The blue sticky notes is me connecting the text to other texts, the pink sticky notes are text to self notes, and the green is just a thought that I had while reading.
I personally did not really like this annotating method because it took me away from really focusing on the words Bain wrote. I was so busy thinking about ways I could relate each sentence to the things I had to relate it to that I lost a little of my focus on what Bain was trying to say as a whole. I think it was just too many things to focus on for me. I like free annotating where it is just me and the chapter with no guidelines for my annotations because then I can come up with some good annotations without getting too distracted by it.
