to those same fragments or not?
- Are your annotations local only? Or do they help you
think beyond the text? If yes, to what, other writing, your
personal experiences, popular culture, etc.?

Class short discussion on


What, if anything, can our annotation styles reveal about:
- the depth of our reading?
- intellectual engagement in reading?
- levels of curiosity? curiosity in what?
- other?
Individually, reflect in writing on this activity. Use these as
guiding questions, but feel free to add more thoughts.

If I were judged on the basis on my annotations only, what


would my annotations tell the world about me?
Am I happy with the result? Do I feel these annotations reflect
my engagement in reading?
If yes, which ways of annotating reflect the best in me as a
reader?
If not, which ways of annotating do I want to start using to
better reflect my intellectual work?
Read your reflection.

Mark fragments that you feel are 100% honest.


Mark fragments you feel are not entirely honest, but rather
what you think others might want to read.
Mark fragments that can be a reflection of your self-biases.
Name those biases.
