Annotation exercises provide us with evidence of your careful reading of the course materials (beyond your participation and written work). 

 

You are expected to come to class with print copies of all readings, complete with annotations and notes.

 

Each week, you will submit 1 page of photographic replication of your annotations. You can choose the page from any of the assigned readings.

 

See the model annotations below; annotations will be graded based on similarity with the model, in areas including volume of annotations, selection of appropriate passages to mark, and variety of annotation styles. 

​

Your will complete 8 annotations throughout the course of the semester and each is worth 1 point toward your final grade, for a total of 8 points.

This exercise is borrowed from Adam Kotsko, and has been slightly modified.
