This document provides guidance on effective annotation strategies for improving comprehension and retention of information from texts. It discusses both old and new annotation methods, including underlining key terms, writing notes in margins, and using mind maps to organize information in a non-linear way. It also covers how human memory works through both short-term and long-term memory, and how understanding relationships between ideas can help transfer information from short-term to long-term memory for long-term recall.

What annotating is

How to do annotating

Short and long term memory

Mapping information
Without clear purpose, it is impossible to make annotating!
❖Stay focused and involved with the text

❖Help you to concentrate better

❖Improve your comprehension


OLD METHOD
• Underline important terms.
• Circle definitions and meanings.
• Write key words and definitions in the margin.
• Signal where important information can be found
with key words or symbols in the margin.
• Write short summaries in the margin at the end
of sub-units.
• Write the questions in the margin next to the
section where the answer is found.
• Indicate steps in a process by using numbers in
the margin.
Human Memory work on 2 different levels:

vs
This includes all the information that you know and
can recall. In many ways, it becomes a part of you.
Once information becomes a part of your long
term memory, you'll have access to it for a long
time.
This includes what you focus on in the moment,
what holds your attention. Most people can only
hold about 7 items of information in short term
memory at any given moment, although some can
hold up to nine.
Look at example A below. Then look away from your computer screen
and try to hold it in your short term memory.

Most likely, you can hold it as long as you choose.
Now follow the same procedure with example B.

It's much more difficult, if not impossible, for most people.
Short term memory is exactly what the name says: short term.

To learn information so you can retain and recall it, you must
transfer it from short term to long term memory.
Two of the ways are: rote learning and learning through
understanding.

Rote learning means learning through repetition, mechanically, with little


understanding. For example, as a child you probably memorized the alphabet
and the multiplication tables by rote.

Learning through understanding involves learning and remembering


by understanding the relationships among ideas and information. Rather than
using rote memory, you use logical memory when you learn through
understanding. For example, you use logical memory when you remember main
ideas and supporting details from a lecture not because you repeat the ideas in
your mind, but rather, because you understand them.
NEW METHOD
• One way to organize and map the information is by

using “Mind Map” which is very popular among biz


people.

• It is an alternative way of non linier thinking.

• The easiest way to organize information.

• Information is presented in the form of a map.

Group work
1. Make a simple mindmap out of the text
and
2. write what the text about
(in one sentence)
