Knowing how to annotate text is a super power. The highlight and rewrite strategy, as I've named it (yeah, it rhymes), is a guaranteed way to ensure that you're understanding what you read as you read it.

Honestly, as someone who is an adult with ADHD who struggled in school/university, I wish I had this kind of information back then (1980s-early 2003). I never learned strategies for note-taking - especially for a neurodivergent brain as I wasn’t diagnosed ADHD until my 3rd year of nursing school - neurotypical strategies weren’t usually effective because my brain processed differently. So, I was frequently overwhelmed by information and not always processing the meanings behind it.

WOW. Came here to refresh my knowledge but I am commenting because Katie is SO beautiful. I looked up at my screen after opening my notebook and my jaw dropped! Talk about beauty and brains!

Thank you so much! You are a life saver! I’m literally annotating every text I’m assigned at my school so this helps a lot! Junior year has a lot of reading and so will senior year! Thx again!

You really make learning fun and easy to understand, I have always loved writing but I have also always had a difficult time focusing and taking notes but these videos have helped me tremendously. So thank you!

This helped so much! I'm having to annotate Pres. Roosevelt's first inaugural address and I didn't even know where to start with only given 8 techniques. I love that you expounded on annotation.

Can u do a highlight and rewrite on a textbook

@robbynswiscoski3964 3 years ago

I am finding your videos very helpful. I was never taught how to take notes and I am in my 50's. I have taken a number of accounting and income tax courses and struggeled the entire time for taking notes. in this video you have mentioned forshadowing what is that?

Great video!~ Can someone edit the captions for accuracy? Some schools may have issues sharing this video with students because it needs accurate captions to be WCAG / ADA compliant. Thank you!
