in middle school when they taught us how to annotate, i genuinely hated it. i thought it was stupid and made no sense.
why would i need to write my thoughts out next to a paragraph? why would i need to circle and define words i donโt know?
now, i genuinely have to annotate what i am reading or nothing makes sense to me. if i am not actively annotating, i have not consumed a word of what i just read
