One annotates a passage that needs an explanation to be thoroughly understood and appreciated.  Often, in works of literature, an editor will annotate the text in the margin (or at the bottom of each page) to further insight into sources of information that could bolster the reader's understanding. Anyone can annotate an article, speech, page in a novel or passage within a text. An individual makes notes that analyze the specific wording found in the course, which provides background information related to the selection; or referring the passage to another part of the same text. This lesson plan reflects passage annotation and helps students elaborate on the concept within literature and further guidance when writing an essay related to a selected text.
