Prompt: Annotate one article you plan to use in your research. Share what kind of information you wrote in your annotations. Did annotating help you? If yes, how? If no, why not? What else do you need to do to process this article?
The topic I’m researching for my essay is how systemic racism affects child development. The article I annotated involves the disparities that African Americans experience as it relates to early education and childcare. Annotating the article really helped me better understand what I was reading and better informed me on the topic I was researching. Looking up words or phrases also helped me better process the article.
