Annotating a text involves marking it up with notes to aid understanding. Key aspects of annotation include underlining unfamiliar words, writing questions in margins, and noting connections to other texts or experiences. Summarizing each paragraph in 1-2 sentences, called a "gist statement", helps capture the main idea.
