Class Experience

In this class, we will be discussing the topic of book annotation. Why do people write in their books? What methods are used for different kinds of annotations? What would make someone want to do such a thing? Is it okay to write in books? Is is possible to annotate a book without writing in it? I have attached an essay link in the Homework section about annotating that we can also discuss during class. 

This class is broken down so that we will be discussing different supplies for annotating as well as different methods. We will be talking about the different aspects of what to look for when annotating a book as well as the different purposes. Is annotating something you ever thought you would do? Why or why not? Is annotating actually helpful? Is it possible to read a book without annotating? 

All students are asked to have their cameras on as it helps keep students engaged and encourages conversation. Please raise your hand if you are ready to comment and respect the commentary of all other students by not interrupting.
