Reading "Beyond the Yellow Highlighter" taught me that as I read if I write the thoughts that are going though my head down as I go it will increase my understanding of any text that I'm reading. After reading this we tried it in class and I found it every helpful even on text that I don't like.I think its helps the most on text that don't interest you or you find more complex than others.
  When I use annotating I don't go through highlighting the key facts in the passage but I write on the side of the text any questions, thoughts, or important facts that stand out. this way when I get done I can go back and answer any questions or confusing that I may have had. After finding the answers to my questions reading the passage again with all my side notes included really analyze the text to were I can write a fully detailed summary on any piece of reading.
 I would recommend annotating to anyone because it breaks down your thinking process and helps you get a clear understanding on what you have read. Writing a paper after annotating passages could make your process alot easier because your main idea and thoughts that you want to include will be on the side, which means you will have an outline of what you have read already in your own words.

The  technique I fount most helpful out of the yellow highlighter was the skill of annotating. Annotating is writing down any qusetions or thoughts that come to mind as you are reading a selection. This skill helps me understand what  am reading and if I don't understand I write the question down next to the confusing that I'm am having out the passage and later can find myself able to answer my question with my thoughts I write down along the side of the paper.

Hi my name is Cazmere McMillan and my greatest strengths as a writer I would have to say is my choice of words. I feel as if my greatest weakens is grammar. It’s weird that my strength is my choice of word but my weakness is grammar. I say this because the way I state things may be in a unique way but isn’t the correct way to say what I have to say grammatically. In my English class I’m and hoping to gain strengths in my weak and strong spots. I will take all that I learn and put it to use in the future when I become a funeral director I will have to make obituary, type letter to families, etc. I’m hoping to take a lot from this class that I believe with benefit me in the long run in my career. Currently I use writing when doing homework for school and when I write a letter to my brother or even when I get bored and just want to jot down a few thoughts. I have to reread things over more than once to comprehend what the passage is trying to get through to its readers.  I’m not really a big reader but if a book holds my interest I will read it. Twilight saga happens to be me favorite book series of all time.
