    When it comes to reading actively, annotating – making notes as you read – is one of the most effective and important strategies available. It can be easy, too, just like having a conversation with someone! This workshop will give you strategies for annotating as you read, which will help you when you review your reading or prepare for an important post-reading assignment.
