    The document provides tips for effectively reading and annotating essays. It recommends reading an essay multiple times for different purposes: to understand the explicit or implicit thesis, identify key takeaways, and check for grammar. When annotating, one should predict topics, make inferences, ask questions, note important details, track vocabulary, and summarize in short sentences. The first and last paragraphs often contain the thesis, and it's useful to research the author's perspective. Paragraphs should be numbered for easy citation.

    to explain or defend a point

    on context

    - summarizing - restate the meaning of the text through your own words, short sentences that are
    straight to the point

    - first and last paragraph are great spots to find the thesis

    - read about the author and look at where they stand

    - citation - number the paragraphs and use as citation ( authors name paragraph )
